How are they alike?  Each one received financial support in 2013, either in part or in total from contributions designated for FAITH PROMISE.  Faith Promise is an opportunity for extra mile giving to support the church’s community and outreach ministries. These ministries continue because of your generous support.  The opportunity to give in this way can be done at any time during the year, weekly, monthly, etc. and noted as a Faith Promise gift.  For brief explanations about the above ministries, “SERVE Ministries” brochures are available at Guest Services or the church office. You may also contact the church office for more detailed information about a ministry and ways to get involved through serving.

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.
