United Methodist Women



The newest project for United Methodist Women (UMW) is shoeboxes for Christmas for Red Bird Mission.  The paperwork giving directions for these boxes is located at the Guest Services Desk.  Anyone is welcome to help with this project. 

The boxes are due by Sunday, July 16.  They must be transported to Mission U at DePauw  University Saturday, July 22.  The boxes may be turned in any Sunday before the due date by placing them in the Coat Rack hallway. They can be placed in the last cubbie for coats on the left-hand side of that hallway.

 This Summer, UMW sponsors a Mission U activity at DePauw University Saturday, July 22. All are welcome to attend this very informative sampler day from 8:00 a.m.—4:00 p.m. Registration is due by July 15.  We carpool from the church parking lot.  If you are interested please contact the church for more information. 
Session Topics are:
                Spritual Growth: Living as a Covenant Community
                Issue Study: Climate Justice: A Call to Hope in Action
                Geographic Study: Missionary Conferences of the United Methodist Church in the United States.

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).

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.
