The United Methodist Women's purpose begins

“We are a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ....."
As a community we welcome all women to our small groups which we call circles.  Our goal is to promote the community of United Methodist Women at Southport.  You are invited to attend any of the circles’ activities this month and join in the community of women.

The circle meetings for February are:
Rebekah Circle - Tuesday, February 13, 1:00 p.m. at church in the gathering place. We collect cereal for Fletcher Place Community Food Pantry each month.
Anna Circle - Monday, February 19, 1:00 p.m. at Rosegate on Emerson Avenue, meeting in the lunch room.
Leah Circle - Saturday, February 10 travel to Ronald McDonald House. We will prepare and serve a meal to the residents, and additional casseroles for those who need meals at a later time.  We will meet at church at 3:00 p.m. to load supplies and then travel to the RMHouse downtown.  If you need more info contact Sandy Tilton.

Dates to remember: 

Friday, March 2, 10:00 a.m. - World Day of Prayer, Center UMC 5445 Bluff Rd, Indianapolis

Thursday. March 8, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. - Legislative and Advocacy Day, Southport UMC. Focus is on Criminalization of Communities of Color. Email Susan Clark at susirobi@aol.com or call 260-224-5429 to register.  Lunch will be included at a cost of $10.

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.
