Food Drive Ministry



" For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,..." says Matthew 25:35.

And Southport answered the call!!!   Southport did a grand job collecting food for the Fletcher Place Food Pantry!!!   Again this year, the staff at Fletcher Place was very thankful to receive our food donations so those who are hungry can be fed.
At this time we have collected 571 items of food which totaled 67 bags of food with 2 bags of apples, 3 bags of potatoes, and 2 bags of carrots, adding up to $1075 of food donations. We have a few bags yet to be delivered.
Thanks so much for your generous nature.
We are now on our monthly schedule of collecting for Hunger, Inc. Food Pantry.  The May item to be collected is canned vegetables on Communion Thursday, April 28, and Sunday, May 1.  Remember that we come to be fed by Communion and so we need to feed others, too.  Your actions help in discipling others as you show God's love with your donations.  
Our Summer food collections are the following:
       June - spaghetti and sauce.
       July - pancake mix/syrup
       August -cereal

If you would like to visit Hunger, Inc. and help with delivering our food donations, please  contact the church and let them know you are interested.

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.
