FOOD DRIVE INFORMATION


The February food collection will be from Thursday January 31st until Sunday, February 3rd. 

 We will be donating these items to the Servant's Heart Pantry in Beech Grove.  This Pantry services Beech Grove and Perry Township.  The Hunger Inc. pantry is still well supplied due to all the schools' food drives.  

The items needed by Servant's Heart are many.  So any item will be welcome. 
 Bring any items like:  food items, personal items, laundry soaps, diapers and toilet paper.  
 We donated over 200 lbs. last month to them and hope to do even better the month of February.  

Thanks to all who support this ministry.

Also note the event coming up in February that helps to support Hunger Inc. Food Pantry:

Perry Township Kiwanis Annual Chili Cook-Off.  This year's event is on Friday night 01 February from 4:30 to 7:30 pm at Center United Methodist Church (5445 Bluff Road).  It is a fun evening with lots of nice people and LOTS of great chili!  Perry Township Kiwanis kindly donates proceeds from the event to the Hunger Inc. Food Pantry. 

Our March Food Collection dates are Thursday, February 28th until Sunday, March 3rd

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). Secondly, we will begin signups for Journey Groups this month, and I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to grow in your faith through a small group. 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
