HUNGER INC. – September 7 to 10
A goal for our Hunger Inc. monthly food drive is to provide items that the families need and to re-stock the shelves at the pantry with hopes that no one will need to be turned away. The staff at Hunger Inc. has requested a collection of Hamburger Helper, Tuna Helper and canned meats for September. As we purchase these extra grocery items let’s celebrate that for a few more dollars we can offer others in our community the means to feed their families.

JUBILEE CHRISTMAS – December 9
It may seem that December 9 is a long way off. However immediately after “Christmas in July”, which supports Homecroft Elementary children with back to school needs, the Jubilee Planning Team begins preparations for Jubilee Christmas.  We meet with the Homecroft staff, the process of selecting twenty Homecroft families begins, and Jubilee Hosts from Southport are invited to be matched with a family with Host orientation scheduled for October 5.  This is a lot happening in a five week period and this is just the beginning.

If you would like more information about serving with the Jubilee Christmas ministry or are interested in being a Host or co-Host, please contact Sherry at the church office, 317 784-9508 or email sherry@sumc.org.
