Food Collection for Hunger Inc.



The waiting room at Hunger, Inc. on Epler Ave. is packed and the shelves are empty. How is that going to work??? I am not sure, but they seem to get it done.
The food we collect Communion Thursday and Sunday is always needed. What a privilege it is to drop the donated food off at Hunger, Inc. and know that SUMC has helped those needing help.
The collection for the month of September is on September 3 and 6. We are looking for Soups. They can be canned or powdered.
Thank you for signing your name as you donate. Your name helps with celebrating the number of servants who have helped with our collection.
Also, if anyone is looking for a way to SERVE at SUMC and want to help with taking the food to Hunger, Inc., let the church know your desire and we will contact you.  It is neither a hard job nor time consuming.  But it is very rewarding.
In October, we will again participate in the CROP Walk held on the Bulter Campus.  More information will come later, but know that we will collect all kinds of food to support this activity.  We will again collect food on October 1 and 4.  The food will be held until the CROP Walk date and delivered to the Walk site.
The November collection will happen on October 29 and November 1. We will collect Soup Beans, Pork and Beans, and Crackers.
December we will collect canned or packaged pastas.
Remember that this is a mission activity that everyone can participate in by just bringing in a food item.

Thanks for your service,
Sandy Tilton

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.
