FLETCHER PLACE COMMUNITY CENTER FOOD PANTRY – 
through April 9
Our annual food drive to benefit the Fletcher Place community near downtown ends April 9. Lists of needed food items are at the Food Drive table in the Gathering Place.

PRISON MINISTRY
Three men from Southport will be serving April 6 – 9 at Plainfield Correctional Facility.  Please remember to pray that weekend for all: those who will be sharing Jesus’ love and forgiveness with others and those who are incarcerated and desire to receive this blessing. 

BLOOD DRIVE – Sunday, April 23
It’s time to encourage friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors to join you in giving the gift of life. This is our second Blood Drive for 2017 and the Blood Center requested April 23 so that the appropriate number of days in order to give will be met.  You may schedule a time to give on the Blood Drive form at Guest Services or note your participation on the worship registration cards. Our next Drive will be August 6.

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.

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.
