FOOD DRIVE INFORMATION



2017 Spring MEIJER SIMPLY GIVE CAMPAIGN - May 14 to June 18

The Southport Meijer Store has chosen Hunger Inc. to be the recipient of the money raised through the 2017 Spring Meijer Simply Give Campaign. At Guest Services we have donation cards with a special bar code that helps Meijer track and identify our food pantry partner. If you know of anyone that is going to donate to the Meijer Simply Give Campaign to help Hunger Inc., please provide them with one of these cards.

Meijer will match every dollar donated. If someone donates $10, Meijer will match that $10 for a total donation of $20. DOUBLE MATCH DAYS are June 2 and June 3. During these 2 days Meijer will double match every customer’s $10 Simply Give donation so that for every $10  donation card, Meijer will give $20 to the program, resulting in a total donation of $30.

Please let everyone know of this giving opportunity. Without this campaign the Hunger Inc. mission to help those who are hungry would be much more difficult.

Food Donations for Hunger Inc. will take place at the church on Thursday, June 1, and Sunday, June 4.  The items we will be collecting are spaghetti and spaghetti sauce. Again remember to sign your name and place your donations in the purple tub.

Last month we had so much food that the workers did not have time to weigh it at the time of delivery. Thanks for being servants to the hungry.

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.
