Let's be like Mary of Bethany



In Mark 14: 1-9 Jesus says, " She did what she could" (v 8).  That is what United Methodist Women (UMW) are all about.  We are putting our faith to work and doing what we can do.     

Our circles have helped some of the following ministries:
Fletcher Place Community -  Provided Cereal
Lucille Raines Residence - Hygiene products for   Christmas, money for Heating and Cooling Systems
Girls with God— Provided Food
Human Trafficking— Money and food support
Garden Ministry— Provide Money 

We do what we can do.  Another quote by Elisa Morgan describes UMW’s hearts to serve.. “Faith with feet on it.”  Come to one of our next meetings and get to know us and what we can do to help with Jesus’ work here among us all.

We want to thank Brandon Collins for his garden for the Imagination Station school children as well as his work in the community garden in town.  It is so important to start the young ones early getting to know the wonders of this creation we get to live with. Any leftovers from the Sunday Harvest Table are donated to Hunger, Inc. Food Pantry in Perry Township each week during the growing season.  

We can all do so much to help our Earth to be a better place.  In UMW we have a Climate Justice Study that can help with each person’s carbon footprint.  Just ask us about it because we would love to share this information.

Creation Care Information

The Creation Care team would like to thank all of SUMC as a part of the team by continuing to recycle at SUMC.  We are always wanting our church to love God's creation and respect it by being Earth conscious.   The Indy Green Congregations newsletter for January can be found at:    greencong1@gmail.com    Check out all the opportunities available on this site.  EX:   They are offering workshops on how to work your soil up for the Spring (which I hope comes soon) and other opportunities.  Their next meeting is February on the third Thursday.

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.
