When one hears the word minister
the image that often comes to mind is that of a pastor or religious
leader. People dont usually think of themselves. But you
know what? We are all ministers. God calls each and every
one of us to be in ministry in some way, shape, or form. We
encourage everyone at SMUMC to discover their own gifts, talents,
interests, and abilities and use those to be in ministry in meaningful
and needed ways.
Check out some of the ministries we do have at
SMUMC.
Ongoing:
- Good Samaritan Fund
- South County Outreach (SCO) Food
Collection - 1st Sunday of every month
- SCO Work Day - 2nd
Saturday of every month - stock & sort food
- Work Days at partner UM Churches
- Reading to Pediatric Patients
Ronald McDonald House
- Prison Outreach
- Sponsor a condo for SCO
- Recycling to support Food for
the Poor, Inc. (Printer Cartridge/ Cell Phones)
These are just to name a few. You are invited to
connect with one of these ministries. Or, if you feel a call to start a
new ministry, please discuss it with Pastor Mark. Remember, all of
us are called to be the hands and feet and voice of Christ.
