Thanks to all who participated on February 7! Eighteen units of blood were collected with an additional 9 potential donors who were deferred.  The Blood Center staff will return on April 10. We have committed to quarterly drives; so mark your calendars for August 7 and  November 20 also.  Our Blood Drives are open to all.

UNITING WITH THE CHURCH – MONDAY, MARCH 7


7:00 p.m. in the Office Conference Room

Pastor Mark shares the mission and vision of Southport United Methodist Church, the   difference between being a “member” and being a “Disciple,” and how each person is called to ministry. Would you like to make Southport your church home?  Please plan to attend the next “UNITING WITH THE CHURCH” session on Monday, March 7, at 7:00 p.m.  Child care is provided by request. Call the church office, 784-9508, or indicate your desire to attend on your registration card.  Sessions are usually held monthly with the following dates for spring: April 11 and May 9.

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.

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).

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
