Food Collection for Hunger, Inc. Pantry


For the month of November, we delivered 243lbs. of food to the Hunger, Inc. Food Pantry located on Epler Ave. off Madison Ave.
As we get ready for the December collection, there will be several food collections going on in the surrounding schools.  So, we will not be collecting food for December, but, we do encourage you to participate in the food collection at Meijer on Southport Road.  Most of the food purchased for the pantry comes from this store.

Details for the 2018 Meijer Simply Give Campaign.
The campaign began November 18 and goes through December 29. Please note the following difference on the double match day.
· The double match is for one day, December 7.
· On December 7, Meijer will double match every customer’s $10 Simply Give donation (up to a maximum donation of $10,000 per pantry). This means that for every $10 donation card purchased, Meijer will donated $20 to the program, resulting in a total of a $30 donation (up to the maximum of $10,000).
Even though the double match day has been capped, significant money can be raised through the campaign with the “dollar for dollar” match by Meijer. 
Cards for donating are available at the store and will be available at church as soon as they come available to us.
Please consider helping Hunger, Inc. in this way.

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.
