Join us in an Exciting Ministry

Sandwich Ministry – Making sandwiches for the homeless while enjoying fellowship with other adults. John and Peggy Park, coordinators. Meets in the kitchen at 9:15am on Sunday. The 2007 Sandwich Ministry sponsor board has been posted at the top of the steps by the entry door. We provide over 500 sandwiches weekly to feed the homeless, either through the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter on Route 1 or Martha’s Table. The regular church operating budget does not cover the cost of this mission project, so we depend on donations to fund the cost, approximately $300 a week. Any amount is welcome to help cover the costs of this important project. Please write “for sandwich ministry” on the offering envelope or your check. For contributions of $100 or more, sign up on the Sandwich Ministry Sponsor’s Board and your dedication will be printed in the bulletin.

BOOK CLUB - The SUMC Book Club meets on the third Sunday every month at 4:00 p.m. in the Parlor for tea and conversation. A schedule of books is published in the newsletter and the bulletin. New readers are always welcome.

FEED MY SHEEP – SUMC is participating in a year long food drive to support local outreach efforts. Everyone is encouraged to bring at least one non-perishable food item to church each Sunday. Place these items in one of the Missions baskets labeled "Feed My Sheep" that are located throughout the Church.

DIET-TO-GO DRIVER NEEDED – The Diet-To-Go Company in Lorton donates surplus meals to the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter (5-8 boxes) twice a week. We need a driver for the 1st Wednesday of every month. If you have a vehicle and are interested in picking up and delivering, please contact John or Peggy Park at (703) 866-1505 or Jjparkk@aol.com

COMMUNION OUTSIDE OUR WALLS – Every Communion Sunday, communion kits are consecrated on our altar by our pastors then taken by our trained Lay Communion Visitors to those who are unable to attend our services. If you know someone who could benefit from this ministry, please contact one of the pastors, or Paul McMahan at (703) 569-1265.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN – Have you ever wondered why we have that red toolbox in the narthex? Your “small change” donations help support our youth ministry.
