Cub Scouts



SUMC is beginning a Pack 39 for Cub Scouts from 1st to 5th grade this fall.  This will be a great opportunity for any youth that would fall in this category because they will have the opportunity to continue into Troop 39 Boy Scouts. 

Boy Scouts is for age 11 and older with the opportunity to obtain the Eagle Scout Rank.  This Rank is earned with the hard work and determination that begins in Cub Scouts.  It is a fun time of learning scouting that includes games, rewards, achievements and family involvement.

Pack 39 meetings will be held each Monday evening from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at SUMC.  There is a Pack meeting once a month for parents to attend and watch their children receive the awards they have been working on.  This organization thrives on the scouts as well as their parents who are always needed to help their sons growth and involvement in this scouting adventure.  

Scouts will be working to have a table set up in the gathering place to provide more      information, applications and answer questions.  Also, we will have a table at the upcoming Community Fall Festal at SUMC on September 26. If you have further questions, you can contact Michelle Knight at 317-308-8672 or Bill Holzer at 317-783-5010.

A Letter from Pastor Mark June 2013

Dear Friends, As I am writing this letter, I am still reeling from the news of the terrible tragedy that continues to unfold in Oklahoma.  I am sure that all of you know that an F5 tornado devastated Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City.  At the time of my writing this communication, we still do not have complete information on the total number of fatalities and injuries.  We do know that the damage can only be described as complete and total devastation. As I have watched the news reports over the past several days, I have heard people tell their stories.  Over and over again I heard people say, “All I could do was pray.”  “I prayed that God would keep me and my family safe.”  On one report I saw a video clip that had been filmed by a person that was a safe distance away from the storm.  As he taped the scene he witnessed the incredible power and destruction that was happening right before his eyes.  The person audibly offered this prayer....

FOOD PANTRY COLLECTIONS

Dear servants...you are so awesome!  Again in September you raised the bar.  You donated a total of 406 pounds of food to Hunger INC Food Pantry located on Epler just west of Madison Ave.  This pantry services all of Perry Township residents and Beech Grove.   (At this rate we may need a van for delivery.)  We also had a late donation of buns totaling 19 more pounds.  Food can be taken anytime to the Pantry if you want to deliver on your own.  On one Thursday in August, the pantry passed out 1000 pounds of food to the 29 persons who were there the 3 hours the pantry was open.   Three of those 29 were homeless folks.  As you shop look for food cans with pop-top tabs for easy opening for those people without a home.  There are certain staples given out to everyone that are provided with the pantry money collected through Meijer's Simply Give donations each year. This includes saltines, canned tuna, stew, canned chicken...
