Central United Methodist Reaches Out…. And you can be a part of our Missions Outreach
|
Current projects include the following:
|
 |
Ark Almighty is a good deeds program that matches up the needs in our congregation (and eventually our community)
with the talents and skills of the members of our church. Gathering the needs of our attendees, these requests are
compiled on a Craigslist-type website administered by the church. Then, the members of Central can easily search
through the needs and find ways they can help. For further info, see Ark Almighty section on this website.

Habit for Humanity - Central used to be very involved in the collection of aluminum cans for Habit. We can once again become
a strong contributor if everyone becomes aware of the opportunity and develops the habit of keeping all those cans. Please
bring in your cans! What an easy way to recycle, and help out a worthy cause at the same time! The collection container is
upstairs in the Family Life Center next to the drink machines.

Soup Kitchen - Central United Methodist Church has been providing a team to prepare and serve the dinner meal at our
community Soup Kitchen every 2nd Sunday of the month. The shelter is located on E. Jefferson St, and typically feeds around
30 men, women and children at each meal. Carolyn Sherman has been coordinating this ministry for years, and presently is in
dire need of some help. The months of May, June and August have not been assigned to a team as yet. And Carolyn would appreciate
someone to help her schedule these meal teams. This is a “quick” ministry...an afternoon to prepare, and hour to serve. Please
sign up to help out today!

Upward - Upward Basketball and Cheer Camp will be held for the fourth summer, the evenings of June 16-20. Upward is an
outreach ministry to our area youth. During our past season, 75% of the children were not from Central families and 21% were not
affiliated with ANY church. What a gift to be able to minister to these kids while having such fun. Our Upward program is run
entirely by volunteers in many different areas. Do your gifts fit here? Join Us! Reach Out! Share Christ!. Contact Don or
Laura Hinkle for more info.

Snaks 4Kids - Funding is needed to promote and expand a UMW outreach, currently focused on 12 students at Walter Bickett Elem.
School. These are children who, without this ministry, would exist weekends without adequate nutrition. They are sent home on
Friday with a backpack stocked with a daily protein, vegetable, fruit, breakfast, juice, and snack. WOW! As their bodies are fed,
their minds are readied and their hearts warmed. Contact Helen Hancock or Elaine Hall.
