Sponsored Christmas Parties 

Farmerville UMC treated Vaughan house boys to a wonderful Christmas party with 

lots of food. Each of the youth were given an overnight tote, and a stocking filled with 

goodies and a nice sports watch. We do appreciate Farmerville UMC for the great party 

as well as the school supplies they donated for our Howard School on campus. 

In keeping with our tradition, we took 13 youth and 6 staff to Hodge UMC for a hot 

dog supper. After the meal everyone gathered in the church to listen to the story of the 

Christmon ornaments. Our youth then decorated the tree with the ornaments. It was 

a beautiful sight to see! The youth each received a $25.00 gift card. After the party, we 

toured the town to see the beautiful Christmas Lights! A wonderful evening was had by all! 

Everett house went to Trinity UMC for the Junior Auxiliary sponsored Christmas party. The youth enjoyed arts and crafts, pizza, and 

refreshments. Each girl was given a $25.00 gift card, a throw blanket, stocking with lots of goodies, and a bath set. We appreciate them 

for doing this wonderful party for the girls! 

Reception center went to Louisiana Tech’s newly renovated Intramural Center. The youth enjoyed playing basketball, skating, ping pong, 

and bowling. They were treated to pizza and were able to visit with the Freshman Baseball team members and coaches. The youth were 

given baseballs signed by the players and stockings. Thank you so much for an awesome party and wonderful time spent with our youth!! 

The Clinton family hosted a social for Shelley house boys. They fried turkey and had all the fixings. They played tailgate golf, horse 

shoes, and decorated the tree with ornaments to eat (candy). They helped decorate the outside of Shelley house with lights. Each youth 

got a stocking filled with gift cards and stickers designed just for them by a man that designs logo's for race cars. Everyone had a great 

day! Cookie tins of homemade cookies were left by Santa to all the good boys. We appreciate the Clinton family for all that they did in 

memory of Sandy Clinton. Sandy loved the Children’s home and would have been so 

proud of what the family is doing each year. 

CAB had a wonderful party with gifts, stockings 

and lots of good refreshments including pizza. We held 

separate parties for the girls and boys. All the youth 

were very proud of the gifts and enjoyed visiting with 

members of the Kiwanis and Louisiana Tech Circle K 

clubs. The Circle K club gave each 

youth a movie pass with popcorn, 

a gift card to McDonalds, and a 

stocking full of goodies. The 

stockings were made by Heritage 

Quilt Club and the Piney Hills Quilt 

club. These were great parties for

President's 

Message 

A Year for the History Books 

What a year of mixed blessings 2008 has been. 

It is certainly a year for the History Books as far as 

Louisiana United Methodist Children and Family Services is concerned. 

The date of February 18, 2008 records the completion of the transition 

of the Methodist Home for Children of New Orleans from Washington 

Street in New Orleans to the Methodist Home for Children of Greater 

New Orleans at 23515 Hwy 190, Mandeville, LA. The mixed blessing 

being that two separate ministries became one while it was no 

longer possible for the one to continue. In fact, in becoming one 

the wholeness that resulted will be an even greater Blessing for 

countless children and families that will benefit from the new 

history being created. 

The entire year of 2008 was a time when the wilderness of the 

Outdoor Wilderness Learning Center was transferred to a Natural 

Gas Production Field. With a drilling site every forty acres, the 

roadways and pipeline right-of-ways, that campus has undergone 

a major change. Indeed the revenue generated from the compensation 

for the right-of-ways, drilling sites and timber were indeed welcome 

during a year of such dire financial uncertainty. Yet the campus 

has been changed forever. The willingness of the drilling company 

to compromise on the location of the drilling pads and right-of-ways 

was a blessing allowing us to maintain programming integrity of 

the facilities. Of the 22 wells drilled, the Home has rights to a fraction 

of the production of 6 of those wells. The other 16 we realize no 

additional revenue benefits. Many of our friends believe that we 

are flushed in revenues. 

The truth is the royalty 

rights were sold in the 

late 40s and production 

was kept alive throughout 

the years resulting in no 

royalty benefits to us for most 

of the new drilling. Someday 

production will cease and the 

wilderness will be reclaimed. 

Hurricanes Gustav and Ike did 

come through our State, ravaging 

resources and destroying much of the recovery 

from Katrina and Rita. Our donor base once 

again has been impacted and yet in spite of 

that and the other economic factors that have 

seemingly exploded on us these last several 

months, we are on track to almost match our 

annual donations required to remain at current level of services. 

We pray for God’s Blessings on 2009 that we will be able to 

weather this Historical Storm and be able to respond to the 

children who need the safety and security of our care. 

“God’s Will Be Done,” may all we do be in “His Honor” and we trust 

our partners in ministry will continue to help our Special Children. 

In His Service

Christmas Parties 

(continued from cover) 

our youth, who enjoyed them very much! 

Harman House traveled to Grace UMC where they were treated 

to crafts, pizza, games, stockings and lots of goodies to eat. The 

Christmas story was read and gifts of favorite P.J's were given to 

each youth. Harman House youth also received a new TV for 

their house!! Everyone enjoyed the party, and we really appreciate 

the member’s of Kappa Delta Sorority of Louisiana Tech, and the 

Scott, Watson & Lynch Circle of Grace UMC for hosting this party. 

C.B. White and Shelly house youth went to St. Paul's UMC for 

Christmas sponsored parties. Each house was treated to a wonderful 

party with lots of wonderful food, games, and gifts. Each youth 

was given a $25.00 gift card and each house was treated to a nice 

house gift. We do appreciate Troy Luttgeharm, our Director of 

Family Plus and all of his church friends for treating us. 

Thanks once again to Chef Ronelle Lenoir for traveling from South 

Louisiana to cook Christmas lunch for our youth and staff. This 

is a special treat for everyone and we are so blessed to have such a 

dedicated volunteer. This is Chef Lenoir’s 8th year of volunteering 

his time and culinary skills to us on Christmas day. 

We are blessed to have such great sponsors for our Christmas 

parties and events!! Each and every party was such a special 

opportunity for our youth. We are so grateful to all of our 

wonderful sponsors!!

from us regarding the schedule of events for that weekend. 

Mother’s Day Offering 

Our Annual Mother’s Day offering is coming soon. We will continue 

to implement changes which began with last year’s offering: Due to 

continued increases in postage, we regret we will no longer be able to 

acknowledge each donation with a personal letter. Please know that 

your donations are very important to us and to the daily success 

of our ministry and we feel your money is better used to fund 

our programs for the children and families we serve. The annual 

offering will be taken on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2009.

Th e BUZZ 

f rom Dr. BoB 

Big Need for Vo-Tech Program 

Dr. Robert W. Flournoy, 

Director of Major Gifts & Planned Giving 

I have written in earlier issues to inform you about the Vo-Tech 

Program at the Children’s Home. Recent events have placed the 

Vo-Tech Program in jeopardy. 

Here’s a brief summary of our Vo-Tech Program: 

When youth in our care reach the age of 18, state law requires us to 

release them from our care. They must begin living independently. 

We try to help them furnish and find a place to stay, but they are 

pretty much on their own to find income. There needed to be a better 

way of sending them out into the world, one that would better secure 

their productive future. The idea of a campus Vo-Tech Program was 

born to teach skills such as carpentry, welding, barbering, and 

culinary skills. With the help of our local legislators and securing 

a grant, we began the program in the fall of 2007. Currently, there 

are 17 youth enrolled in the construction technology curriculum 

and 4 enrolled in barbering apprentice curriculum. The enthusiasm 

is very high among our youth. So far, we have had two youth who 

aged-out of our care and local contractors have hired both. Our 

Vo-Tech Program is a win-win situation. Just think what a blessing 

for our youth to learn a trade so they can find a job for more than 

minimum wage and pay taxes, instead of being a burden to taxpayers. 

In addition to MCH youth, we envision youth from other institutions 

coming to our campus for vo-tech training. 

Now, here’s the recent news causing the program to be in 

jeopardy: The current facility for the Vo-Tech Program does 

not meet the new state building codes, and this news is of 

great concern for us. To keep the program operating we will 

have to immediately construct a building compartmentalized 

with a separate training room for each skill and specialized 

needs for specific training, such as welding. 

We have funding for the Vo-Tech Program through June 2009 

(tools and staff), but we do not have the funds to construct the 

required building; however, architects are currently working 

on a plan estimated to be at a building cost of $2 million. Our 

annual budget doesn’t allow for capital expenditures and the 

state doesn’t provide funds for building costs. 

Bottom line: If you believe like I do that we are on the right 

path to offer a vo-tech program, give me a call at 318-243-4325 

to let me know you will help us with underwriting the cost 

of construction. We need big dollars. But 

those dollars will produce big dividends 

by giving our youth an opportunity 

to learn a skill and become 

productive citizens. Our 

youth need this program 

and we need you to help 

us offer it to them.

What is the Circle of Friends? 

The Circle of Friends was created in 2004 by the Louisiana 

Methodist Children’s Home Board of Directors as an Annual 

Fund. Its purpose is to allow individuals and businesses to 

financially partner with the Home in the holistic treatment 

of abused and neglected youth. In addition, the Annual Fund 

gives the Home a steady financial resource. 

Who can join the Circle of Friends? 

Individuals, businesses, Sunday School classes, small groups, 

United Methodist Men and Women’s groups, civic organizations, 

churches, schools, and foundations are just some of the members 

of this generous group of donors. 

When do I join? 

Anytime, but the month of January is the best time to join and 

renew membership. Generally speaking, financial gifts to the 

Home decrease at the first of the year, but our expenses remain 

the same. By receiving memberships at the beginning of the 

year, the Home has a more constant income. Members may join 

at a certain level, but pay monthly throughout the year. 

What are the benefits of the Circle? 

The youth in our care benefit from the food, clothing, school 

supplies, medicine, recreation, and educational instruction the 

funds supply. Donors benefit because they become part of a 

trusted agency that gives youth the chance for a better life.

Thankfulness 

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful 

love endures forever. —I Chronicles 16:34 

Students in Arlene Banks class supplemented their Social 

Studies unit with a study of a variety of Native Americans. 

Students also had the opportunity to study about Squanto 

and the Pilgrims, as well as how our National Thanksgiving 

Day originated. 

During the program, students shared their creative writings 

which began “I am thankful for…” Each student received 

a treat bag for a job well done. Several members of the 

Home’s administration attended the program and the students 

presented them with gifts showing their thankfulness 

for all they do for them and the Home. 

We would like to share with you two of the students 

writings. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

CAB (Changing Attitudes and Behaviors) 

The last week in October was eventful for C.A.B. youth. We hosted 

a football camp for the boys and a cheerleader camp for the girls. 

The C.A.B. team’s name was the Tigers. Every day the girls practiced 

their cheers and the guys practiced football plays. The week ended 

with a fun pep rally for the Tigers before their big game against 

the Vaughn house youth. The guys decorated shirts for their big 

game day. The ladies made banners and goodie bags for our Tiger 

football players. After the awesome, spirited pep rally, the youth 

paraded down to the field. They ran through a Tony the Tiger banner 

while the "Eye of the Tiger" played in the background. The Tigers 

defeated their opponents and paraded back to the building where a 

bar-b-cue was held in everyone's honor. Our cheer coach, Ms. Laquasha 

Craft, worked hard with the youth. Several other staff sponsored 

snacks for our girls. The ladies also performed a cheer routine at 

the 1st Wednesday meeting in the chapel. The Tiger team was lead 

by head coaches, Jamie Sims, Jamonte Bailey, Jason Knighten, and 

Supervisor Greg Goldsmith. Other assisting coaches were Harold 

Madison and Keith Williams. 

4-H Talent Show 

A Talent Show for all local 4-H Youth was held on our Ruston 

campus of LMCH. The event was held in our chapel on Saturday, 

October 11th. Many of our youth participated in the talent 

show and did very well. We had youth place 1st in Senior Dance, 

2nd in Senior Dance, and 3rd in Senior Dance. These youth 

were awarded trophies and ribbons. 

Fall Festival 

There was just enough of a chill in the air the evening of our 

Fall Festival held at our OWL Center in Dubach. The youth didn’t 

seem to notice as they celebrated with game booths, prizes, 

hayrides, horse and pony rides and food!!! As always, this was 

an opportunity for those of our youth who wanted to, to dress 

up in Halloween costumes. They could be seen participating in 

the cakewalk, as well as many other booths where prizes were 

given out. New this year was face painting, graciously provided 

by Ruston High School’s cheerleaders who volunteered to come 

out and join the fun! We couldn’t have done it without the help of 

our sponsors and volunteers! A huge thank-you to Smurfit-Stone 

for again providing and serving us our meal. These men continue 

to bless us! The grill was fired up 


Update…MCH 

Thanksgiving Dinner 

The Henning Conference Center was again the site for our 

annual Thanksgiving Dinner this year. On November 20th, 

LMCH staff and youth all gathered for a traditional 

Thanksgiving meal together. It 

was a treat for the 

staff to get to bring 

their families to 

celebrate this special 

time of year with the 

youth and co-workers 

that they see on a 

daily basis. As always, 

Kathy Modest and 

the dietary staff here 

at LMCH provided 

us with a great 

holiday meal. A 

special thanks to 

the LST members 

for serving dinner 

to everyone!

and burgers and hotdogs with all the trimmings were served to 

a large, appreciative crowd of youth and staff members. Thank you 

also to the many volunteers who manned our booths and provided 

candy and prizes to the youth: Kappa Delta Sorority, Kappa Sigma 

Fraternity, Gamma Beta Phi, LTU Baseball Team, and the 

GSU Girls Soccer Team, 

just to name a few.

Shoebox Ministry 

Many of you are aware of the Shoebox Ministry we participate in 

each year here at LMCH. This ministry has been a social accountability 

project for our home for the last few years. This project is done in 

coordination with Samaritan’s Purse International, a nonprofit 

humanitarian organization which provides relief aid and spiritual 

support for communities around the world. Each year shoebox gifts 

are delivered during Operation Christmas Child, an international 

mission project where the gifts are distributed along with bible 

lessons and relief supplies. This year, our focus was to be on quality 

shoebox gifts, not just quantity. Our residential houses had a little 

friendly competition going on and winners were announced at a special 

blessing held at the Chapel on our campus. The award for Overall 

Below: Two of our youth

boxes were blessed before 

being sent to Operation 

Christmas Child. 

Angel Tree Participants 

Update…MCH 

Presentation went to Everett House, 

other awards were: Shoebox Spirit 

Award, CAB Program; and Shoebox 

Creativity Award, C.B. White house. 

Heritage Quilt Club 

The wonderful ladies in this club made quilts for our youth. 

They invited DeNeise Barlow, our Recreation Director to come 

and tell them about our children. Several of these ladies also 

made stockings for our youth. Thanks also to this club for 

making the CAB kids stockings! 

They all take pride in making these quilts. They do lots of 

service projects for many different organizations as well as 

the service men and women. We appreciate the opportunity 

to have such nice quilts for the youth beds, and thankfully 

they plan to continue making some for us. Lynette Bailey is 

the contact person and she is our wonderful volunteer here 

for our CAB girls. 

Once again, we are amazed at the generosity that the Christmas Season brings!! Even with our hurting economy you, our very own 

angels came through for the youth in our care!! We truly appreciate each and every person who participated in our Angel Tree program, 

and want you to know that we could not have made this work without you and your dedication to the children in our care and 

this ministry. Again this year, over 50 churches and organizations participated 

in making Christmas for our youth a reality. We thank you from the bottom 

of our hearts and look forward to 

another successful year in 2009!

Applebee’s Pancake Breakfast 

Saturday, December 6th, a special Pancake Breakfast was held at 

Applebee’s in Ruston with proceeds benefiting the Children’s Home. 

A special thank you to General Manager Lori Manfull, and her staff 

for their time and effort toward making this project a success. 

Louisiana Chapter of nUMC 

The Louisiana Chapter of National United Methodist Campers hosted the National Rally at Yogi Bear RV resort in Robert, LA. The 

mission project for this rally was the Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home. Representing the Home were Family Plus Director Troy 

Luttgeharm, Southwest Louisiana liason Doug Hall, and Director of the Home’s Greater New Orleans location, Marlin Giacona. They 

presented information to all in attendance, updating them on what is going on with youth and development at the Home. During the 

evening worship, a love offering was held and approximately $4,000 was collected. Mrs. Clara Jane Jones, Mission Chairman, presented 

this offering to Mr. Luttgeharm during services held at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Monroe, LA. 

The National United Methodist Campers, Inc (NUMC) was organized as the National Camping Methodists Inc. (NCM) in Connecticut in 

1975. The name was changed in 2001 as an affiliate of the United Methodist Church through the General Board of Discipleship (GBOD). 

The purpose of NUMC is: 

• To enjoy the out-of-doors in a wholesome Christian atmosphere. 

• To provide safe and comfortable opportunities for family camping. 

• To share in Christian worship at informal campground services or to attend a local church. 

• To make new friends and continue long-time friendships with others. 

• To assist others in need through Christian service (personal help, disaster relief, mission work) 

A national rally brings all chapters together once a year. The national 

president selects a place and date for the national rally. Information 

about NUMC gathered from the NUMC website: www.umcampers.org

Family To-Do-At-The-Zoo 

St. Paul’s UMC in Monroe, LA hosted it’s annual Family 

To-Do-At-The-Zoo recently. Children and staff of the Home were 

invited to attend. The annual fund raiser helps provide much needed 

funds to the Home. This year some of St. Paul’s top chefs prepared 

their favorite recipes, and Inky the Clown and his Half-Ring Circus 

performed. Thank you so 

much to St. Paul’s UMC Men’s 

Group for this wonderful 

event!! This year the fundraiser 

raised over $12,000 

for our Home!!

4-H Group Visit and Donation 

A 4-H group from Columbia, LA recently toured the OWL Facilities in Dubach, complete 

with a picnic lunch and a trip through the A-Mazing Maze!! The youth enjoyed their 

time at the OWL, and then visited the Ruston campus where they presented donations 

of cameras and photo albums for our youth. While they visited, they watched a video 

to learn more about our programs and services, and then had a “question and answer 

session” about our programs. Thank you so much to this 

generous group of young people 

for their donation 

and their visit!

Grambling International Students 

The Grambling International Students group, led by Dr. Marianne 

Fisher-Giorlando, raised $200 for the Home. The students were inspired 

to make a “Castle of Wishes” for the Home, where each “wish” was 

sold for $1 and the person who bought the “wish” would write their 

wish for our youth on a “block” which was then used to build the 

castle. This idea came from a custom in Russia. The students sold the 

wishes, built the castle and then presented it to LMCH’s Public Relations, 

Development and Marketing Department. The students earned hours 

toward required community service projects for their organization. 

A big thank you 

to all of our donors!

Whether you give money, supplies or your 

time, it all makes a difference in the lives of 

our youth and makes our ministry possible. 

VFW Post #3615 

The local VFW Post #3615 Men and Ladies Auxiliary of Ruston, LA 

fulfilled their October Community Service project during October 

by making special “goodie bags” for our youth. Goodie bags were 

made for each of our 106 youth plus a few extra. The Goodie 

bags were part of the Children’s Home Fall Festival Celebration. 

Members of the auxiliary made the following statement about the 

service project: “Being a member of VFW #3615 Auxiliary is very 

special to each of us. It’s our desire to make others feel special, too! 

Our members are veterans of foreign wars. We are proud of our 

veterans and our military that is serving our country. Each of 

them are keeping our country free and beautiful.” 

Thank you so much to the men and ladies who participated 

in this project!!

No matter how small of an amount you donate 

to us in cash, you must keep a canceled check, 

bank record, or a receipt with our organization’s 

name and the amount on it. 

Otherwise there will be no deduction allowed by the 

IRS. At the end of the year we will send a letter listing 

all gifts made that calendar year. You will receive this 

letter by the end of January for the prior year’s gifts.

Message 

Greetings! 

We have been busier than ever! We ended October with our 29th 

annual golf tournament being a great success. Once again, thank 

you to the golf committee, volunteers, and sponsors. We could 

not have done it without you! 

The youth in our care have enjoyed various events and activities, 

such as season tickets to the Saints games, Mandeville Boat festival, 

and Trunk-or-Treat at a local church. November brought our first 

annual dance competition, girls versus boys. The youth had a blast 

and it was amazing to see them come together as a team. Many 

of our youth were able to spend Thanksgiving with family and 

previous foster families. We are thankful to local churches that 

opened their doors to youth and staff for Thanksgiving meals.

December brought Christmas Tree decorating contests, prayer 

chains, and overwhelming support from the community. We 

were amazed at how beautiful Christmas was this year. God’s 

work was seen in so many ways: through gifts, donations, 

and acts of kindness. The children were overwhelmed with 

their gifts from various organizations and churches. They were 

adopted by various individuals, churches, and businesses that 

just wanted to be known as Secret Santa. Our thanks go to the 

many United Methodist Churches across the state that opened 

their hearts to us during this holiday season. It has definitely 

been a busy couple of months and a great end to 2008. With 

our first anniversary approaching in February, we know that 

the blessings, support, and prayers will continue.

29th Annual Methodist Home Golf Classic 

The 29th Annual Methodist Home Golf Classic was a tremendous 

success, this past October at the Beau Chêne Country Club in 

Mandeville. Over the years, this four-some scramble has become 

one of the most popular tournaments throughout the Greater New 

Orleans area. Golfers know that when they come to this tournament, 

a great time will be had by all! It’s a first-class operation, on two 

great courses, with spectacular door-prizes 

for each player, 

great fellowship, 

and mouthwatering 

food 

throughout the 

course, prepared 

by some of the 

best chef’s in all 

of Louisiana. 

Best of all, all 

Hall's 'Marks by Doug Hall 

Doug Hall, our ambassador to south Louisiana, delights in sharing the "latest" at Louisiana Methodist Children's 

Home. He is available to share with you, your church, UMW, UMM, or civic organization. Call him at (985) 860-5247. 


Update…MCH

one of the 3 teams sponsored by Reich & Associates. Pictured from

The New Year brings an opportunity 

for a new start, a fresh look at things. 

We resolve to make adjustments, to discern 

God’s will, and do our very best. As I 

consider the ministry of LMCH, I know 

God is calling us to do great things for 

children and families in need throughout 

the state. With your help, LMCH services 

will remain strong, and we will see much growth in our 

south Louisiana programs throughout the year. 

One of my New Years Goals is to visit with each person or 

group in south Louisiana who may be interested in learning 

more about the ministry of LMCH. That’s a BIG goal. Please 

don’t wait for me to call you! You can reach me on my cell 

phone: (985) 860-5247, and we can schedule a time for a short 

visit. We can meet at your home, work place, or even over 

the phone. Please let me know if I can give a presentation to a 

group you may be involved with, such as a United Methodist 

Women’s group, a Sunday School Class, or Civic Club. 

proceeds benefit The Methodist Home for Children of Greater New 

Orleans. So regardless of how well you golf that day, you can’t lose! 

All of this is made possible by countless hours of planning and hard 

work by a committee of dozens of volunteers, under the leadership 

of Bob Squires and Bob Reich. Each year, they make adjustments 

to refine the tournament so that it’s even more fun and more profitable 

than the previous year. The 2008 event raised over $58,000 in net 

profits! Special thanks to our Platinum Sponsors which include: 

Robert (“Bob”) S. Reich; Reich, Album & Plunkett, LLC; Northwestern 

Mutual; Argo Fine Imports; Wachovia, Louis St. Martin Attorney 

at Law, Bollinger Shipyards, and Christopher Schwartz. 

Planning is already under way to make the 30th Annual Methodist 

Home Golf Classic our best ever. Please save the date: Monday, 

October 5th, at the Beau Chêne Country Club in Mandeville. Come 

join us! There are many ways to play a part in the success of this 

great event: help plan the tournament by serving on the committee 

of volunteers, be a Sponsor, donate door prizes, serve as a volunteer 

on the day of the tournament, or come join us for a round of golf 

as a participant in the tournament. For more information, or to 

let us know how you may be able to help, please call our Home in 

Mandeville at (985) 626-6649. 

I will be happy to update you on all that is going on at our 

main campus in Ruston, as well as our programs in south 

Louisiana. Serving the southeast part of the state, our Home 

in Mandeville continues to grow. Additionally, we look forward 

to soon beginning construction for the Methodist Home for 

Children of Southwest Louisiana, in Sulphur, LA. 

You may be interested in exploring different ways to support 

our ministry. Some of you may be in a position to share your 

resources, or to volunteer time at one of our campuses. I’d love 

to have a cup of coffee with you, brainstorm, and hear your ideas. 

Perhaps you would like to let me know of someone else who may 

also be interested in learning about the ministry of LMCH. 

I also look forward to learning a little more about your story 

during our short visit. How did you first hear about our ministry? 

What motivates you to want to be involved? Which programs 

interest you the most? 

Thanks again for all of you who continue to support our 

children with your prayers and gifts. Looking forward to 

visiting with you soon!

Progress in Sulphur 

Even before we have officially broken ground, Mrs. Lee Mann, Mr. Richard 

Morgan, Rev. Jerry Crise and Sue Crise (pictured) were hard at work, 

cleaning a house which is on the property of The Methodist Home for 

Children of Southwest Louisiana. We are grateful for their dedication, 

as these hard working Methodists gave us their time and sweat on 

an afternoon just a few days before Christmas. They did a great 

job. This building will serve as the temporary main office for staff 

of our new Home, in Sulphur, Louisiana. We look forward to 

seeing construction begin soon! 

Update…MCH

support this program, 

which will serve children 

and families in need 

throughout all of 

southwest Louisiana, 

you may send a gift to

for this project.

Groundbreaking Ceremony 

Terrel J. DeVille, President and CEO of LUMCFS, has announced 

the recent purchase of a tract of land in the Sulphur/Lake Charles 

area. A new facility for children will be built near the intersection 

of Highway 27 and Houston River Road. The Houston River will 

be the northern boundary and Highway 27 will be the boundary 

to the east. The grounds are comprised of approximately 40 acres 

on which a residential facility and an administrative building 

will be built. The residential building will house youth ages 10 

through 17. On October 17th, a Ground-Breaking/Dedication 

Ceremony was held to celebrate this exciting new addition to the 

Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home Ministry. The ceremony 

was well attended by people from across the state. 

Rev. Mike McLaurin, from First UMC, DeRidder opened the 

ceremony in prayer. Following the prayer Mr. DeVille welcomed 

all attendees. The Declaration of the grounds was officiated by 

Rev. Steve Spurlock, the Lake Charles District Superintendent. 

Presentation of the Construction Site was then made by Mr. Richard 

Lewis, Chairperson of the Home’s Board of Directors to Bishop 

Hutchinson noting that acquisition of the property had been 

made possible by a gift from the William Henning Family, and 

it will be named the Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home 

of Southwest Louisiana. After response and prayer by Bishop 

Hutchinson, the benediction was led by Rev. Timothy Neustifter, 

Henning Memorial UMC. 

Construction 

of the new 

facility is set 

to begin in 

2009 with 

a goal of 

September 1, 

2010 for its 

completion. 

The new 

building will 

enable LMCH 

to provide 

care for 

up to 30 

youth. 

Above: Pictured at the ceremony are John Henning, Tom 

Henning, William Henning Sr., William Henning Jr., Bishop 

William W. Hutchinson and Terrel J. DeVille, President and
