There are ways to reach beyond our community to serve even if we cannot physically go there. Here are some opportunities to serve:
Costa Rica Mission Trip: You may click this link for more details about the Costa Rica Mission Trip, but if you are interested in participating on a mission trip, UMVIM (United Methodist Volunteers in Mission) offers ways to serve in that way.
Fortson Home Fridays: We partner with AIM as we adopt this community to pick up weekend food packs from AIM and deliver and distribute them on Fridays during the summer. While at Fortson Homes, our members will provide Friday lunch for the children there and offer them special activities of games and crafts that revolve around a theme. Our goal is to build a relationship with this community.
Kairos Prison Ministry: The Kairos Prison Ministry is threefold. It seeks to change hearts, transform lives, and impact the world. Our members make cards, placemats, cookies, etc., for the weekend retreats. Financial help is also need to make these retreats possible.
Pumpkin Patch:While we offer a pumpkin patch on our church grounds, it reaches far beyond our church and community. Click on this link for more info. Pumpkin Patch
UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief): This is a ministry of the United Methodist Church that respond immediately with funds and supplies to disaster-struck areas.
UMVIM (United Methodist Volunteers in Mission): Some of our members have participated on UMVIM mission trips in South Carolina and the U.S. after various hurricanes. Members are trained by the conference for these trips and offer ERT (Emergency Response Training).
