FOOD DRIVE MINISTRY – FEBRUARY COLLECTION

   Here is a Valentine Prayer for February by Gertrude Rudberg:
           O Lord, I ask before I start,
           As Valentines comes round,
           That I may find within my heart
           Its meaning deep, and profound

           I ask Thee, Lord that I may find
Some place where there is need,
Where I can be a little kind
And plant a friendly seed.

I ask Thee, Lord that I might give
A little bit of love
To those I've felt I can't forgive
As Thou dost from above.

  I ask Thee, Lord to be my guide,
Grant patience, courage too
That I may e'er with Thee abide
In all I try to do.

Your donations are addressing the need and planting the seeds that God asks of all of us.
The Hunger Inc. Food Pantry is now in need of any of the following items:

Jelly
Instant oatmeal
Canned chili
Canned Tuna
Soups
Canned fruits

Please bring your donations Thursday, February 1 through Sunday, February 4.   Your help is needed to feed those in need in our community.

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.
