New Song Mission

New Song Mission’s first set of house parents have moved into home A!  They are a young couple with three children of their own who have been prayerfully sought for many months.  We praise God for his wonderful provision.  Watch for more specific information on this first family soon.  They will be trained and ready to receive deserving children later this summer. It’s a very exciting time!

In the weeks and months ahead, a focused effort will be made to reach out to potential referral sources of children — homeless shelters, children’s ministries and agencies, churches, educators, and counseling centers.  Bob Schloss, Founder/Director of New Song Mission, believes that the Lord already has in mind the children to be served.  Please pray for these children.

Madelyn Altom, a fifth-grader from Southport United Methodist Church, served New Song Mission recently in a big way.  Through a service project required of all fifth-graders at her school, Madelyn chose NSM as a ministry to research, report on, and provide aid.  She diligently collected 232 books for the children on the campus by getting the message out through emails, facebook, and text messages! In addition, Madelyn performed hands-on work by cleaning in home A , photographing her activities, making a display board, creating an art project, and writing a feature article along with two reflection papers.  Madelyn had wonderful support from her parents Tim and Heidi Altom and younger sister Ellie.  New Song Mission is grateful for Madelyn’s ministry!

A Letter from Pastor Chris

Dear Friends,            I am excited about the many things that are happening at Southport UMC this month.   There are many things going on at Southport UMC as we continue in ministry to the Southside of Indianapolis, but I would like to highlight a few opportunities, as well as share some information about changes that are coming this month. First of all, because of storm damage we are getting a new roof. This work will begin after September 8 and will take around a week to complete (weather permitting). Secondly, we will begin signups for Journey Groups this month, and I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to grow in your faith through a small group. Finally, at the end of this month we have a great opportunity to share with our neighbors through the Community Fall Festival.   Over the last couple of months we have been learning in worship that we need to share our faith story, and we can only do this through building relationships. Community Fall Festival is an

ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

You may or may not know that in the past, Southport United Methodist Church has been able to offer a small scholarship to assist with college expenses.   The scholarship was made possible by some past members of SUMC:   Mary & Riley Lynch. We haven’t been able to offer the scholarship for a few years but are able to do so again. If you are interested or want more information, please contact Pastor Doug in the church office. Application deadline is July 15th, 2019.   A decision will be made at that time so there can be no applications accepted after that date.
