ecolumns holy land awaits

Take a moment to imagine yourself standing on the teaching steps where Jesus taught his followers. Imagine standing on the shore of the Sea of Gallilee and recalling how Jesus calls us to fish for people. Imagine standing on the Mount of Olives and imagine Jesus weeping over his beloved Jerusalem. Not only can you imagine it, you can actually experience being there! Travel with Mary Lou and friends from across the Kentucky Annual Conference as we explore and experience the land of the Bible. We will depart December 1 for 10 days of biblical discovery! Airfare, deluxe motor coaches and hotels, plenty of delicious food, guided sightseeing and more are included in the $3,000.00 fee. A $300 deposit will reserve your space. Visit the Educational Opportunities website at EO.TravelWithUs.com and be sure to ask Mary Lou for a detailed brochure.

Have You Heard About
Social Security’s
Extra Help Program?

In times like these, every dollar counts! A fast and effortless way to save money is to determine if you or your loved ones could be eligible for Extra Help benefits offered by Social Security. Social Security and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services continue to work together to get you extra help with your prescription drug costs. If you currently receive Medicare and you have limited income and resources, you may be able to get help paying for your monthly premiums, annual deductibles and prescription co-payments under the Medicare prescription drug program.

If you are interested in learning more about the Extra Help program, we have pamphlets available. For more information, you can call Social Security’s toll free number at
1-800-772-1213 or you can also log on to Social Security website at www.socialsecurity.gov .
