United Methodist Women


One of the studies from Mission U at DePauw (July 17-20) is Embracing Wholeness: An Earth Perspective for Covenantal Living.  This means as Christians, we have a deep responsibility to love what (and who) God loves.   So the way we see the world and the choices we make as we live in it affects the health of the ecosystem and others around us.  Therefore we need to be more conscious of our impact on the world that God so loves. (from Response Magazine, April 2018)

United Methodist Women are working to care for the earth.  Find out more by attending one of the UMW Circle meetings and see how we are actively helping in our community.
Southport’s UMW unit donated $200 in April to the Lucille Raines Residence to assist with repairs to the facility.  The Residence provides housing for recovering addicts living in downtown Indy.

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.
