Annual Fletcher Place Food Drive Continues through April 18



The Boy Scouts from Troop 39 and Pack 134 are joining SUMC in our effort to feed the hungry. Food donations will be delivered weekly to Fletcher Place Community Center near downtown Indianapolis and distributed from their food pantry. Through our outreach efforts we demonstrate Jesus’ love and present another opportunity to make new disciples and transform the community in which we live.

You are invited to write a short note which will be included in the food bags.  Blank note cards are available at the Food Drive sign in the Gathering Place along with lists of suggested food item.

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.
