UNITED METHODIST WOMEN


The purpose of the United Methodist Women Circles is.... be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ, to develop a creative supportive fellowship and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
United Methodist Women's groups have been around for 150 years this year.  What a joy to celebrate.
 We are supporting each other through our service to the church and others in our community. 
Rebekah Circle will be having a Pitch-in Luncheon on May 14th at 11:30am in the gathering area.  Come join this creative supportive time of fellowship.
We expand our concepts of mission by being involved in many of the ministries in the church: Funeral dinners, greeting and ushering, God’s Will Breakfast, etc.
We will again be SELLING NUTS STARTING IN SEPTEMBER.  
Tell all your family and friends to order because this is one way we can support the ministries of the church and UMW worldwide.   Your money last year helped Lucille Raines Resident Center in downtown Indy.  They needed money to redo the bricks on the building.  It is a Center helping people to get back on their feet after issues they have overcome are behind them.  So buy lots of nuts and candies (I hear the sea salt caramels are to die for)
The National unit of UMW supports many global ministries that help women and children lead new and much improved lives.   On May 3rd from 11:00- ? Southport will host the Church Women United FRIENDSHIP DAY program.  There will be a lunch at 12:00 (cost is $7) with 2 speakers after the lunch.  One speaker will be the chairman of Servant's Heart food pantry. 
Leah Circle will be meeting on May 20th in the Underground, 6:30 - 8:00 pm to continue our SIT & SEW activity where we work on our African pillowcase dresses.  Come and join the fun.

JOIN A GROUP TODAY.....GOD WANTS YOU!!!!!

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.
