UNITED METHODIST WOMEN (UMW)



Merry Christmas to all.  The UMW  have been busy the month of November.  We collect items for Fletcher Place Community Center's Christmas give away and decorated 60 Christmas Stockings to be given away.  We also collected 206  personal hygiene items to be donated to Lucille Raines Residence Hall for their Christmas Grab Bag.   WOW!!!  that was a lot of love being sent out for others. So in December, two of the UMW Circles are having their Christmas Pitch-In dinners.  ALL ARE WELCOME to attend these dinners. 

Schedule of Meetings:
Rebekah Circle Meeting is the first Tuesday, December 6.  It will be held at the church in the Gathering Place at 6:00 p.m.  This Dinner and meeting is a Pitch-In Christmas Celebration.  So bring a dish and join in the fun.

Leah Circle Meeting is the third Tuesday, December 20.  It will be held at Donna Dougherty's home at 6:00 p.m.  The Dinner/Meeting is also a Pitch-In Christmas Celebration.  So bring a dish, wear a Christmas hat, and bring a White Elephant Gift ($5 items from home or store) to give away.  You may call the church for directions to Donna's.  All are welcome to celebrate with us.  This will be the circle's last meeting until March.

Anna Circle will be taking December off
    
Also, plans are in the beginning stages for a "Human Trafficking" Presentation in the month of February.  So be on the look out for more information in the January Newsletter. 

  UMW's purpose remains the same. 
                     To Know God
                     To Experience Freedom as Whole Persons through Jesus Christ
                     To Develop a Creative, Supportive Fellowship
                     To Expand Concepts of Mission through Participation in the Global  Ministries of  the church.             


         Our Goal is to "LIVE our PURPOSE

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.
