BE THE MATCH

God has given to Metropolitan a unique assignment. As our pastor defined from the pulpit last Sunday, one who is close to the Metropolitan family, Jennifer Jones Austin, is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Jennifer has Leukemia and has little chance for survival unless she can receive a bone marrow transplant. We have been asked to search our ranks to find whether one person is a suitable match to donate bone marrow to help save Jennifer’s life. On Sunday, January 31st, the Garment’s Hem ministry is sponsoring a campaign to solicit bone marrow donors. Accept the call to service for Sister Jennifer.
