JUBILEE



Jubilee Christmas Day is December 10…
Thanks to the Homecroft social workers we have over 20 families from our community who will be invited to experience Jubilee Day with us.
Our next step is to secure a SUMC host for each school family who will work together in providing a “Jubilee Christmas.”
A Jubilee Host (individual, couple, or family) is matched with a recommended school family and the relationship begins. Opportunities as a Host include:
Attend Orientation session 
Make the initial contact by phone with your Jubilee family, introducing yourself and ask them to be part of Jubilee Christmas
Invite the family to join you for a social gathering where you will meet for the first time, and enjoy refreshments with other families and their hosts 
Obtain the children’s clothing sizes and suggestions for gifts
Shop with a family adult and select clothing for their children (we do this as a group, hosts and Jubilee families, and the Jubilee Ministry Team, on a Saturday morning with expenses covered through the Faith Promise fund)
Remind your Jubilee family of upcoming important dates (shopping day, Jubilee Day, etc.)
Join your Jubilee family adults on December 10 at church, with other hosts and families for  refreshments, to wrap gifts, and celebrate your Jubilee experience
Each host will have a mentor from the Jubilee Ministry Team who is available to answer    questions and address concerns as needed. 
Would you like to make a difference in a family’s life this year?  Be a Jubilee Host!

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.
