DECEMBER MISSION PROJECT—UNITED METHODIST OUTREACH MINISTRIES
MONETARY DONATIONS NEEDED
UMOM, a women and family shelter, is sponsoring their annual Holiday Card Fundraiser. You may
purchase cards, in various amounts, from $25 – $500 as a donation toward preventing and ending
homelessness in Phoenix.
Donation cards will be sold starting 11/23 until 12/22 before and after church services and in the
church office.

Manufacturers’ coupons (no store coupons or rebates) must be neatly clipped and deposited in the basket located by the Church office. (If you are unable to do the clipping but would like to donate your unused coupons, please place them in the basket and one of our coupon clippers will take over.) Wednesday, February 1st, there will be a kick-off coupon clipping party/pot luck in Fellowship Hall at 10:00 a.m. Bring your coupons, scissors and your favorite dish to share for lunch.
Any questions, please call Mary Jane Banfield or Sand’ee Spears.
Communion Offerings – Nine months out of the year the gifts support the Special Days and Causes designated by our Annual Conference as special mission projects.
Holiday Offerings – At Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, we receive a special offering which is sent directly to support mission ministries that bring healing and hope.
Monthly Food Collection – As we are fed on Communion weekends (first Saturday and Sunday of the month) with the bread and cup of Christ’s love, we seek to also feed others through the collection of non-perishable food items. Drop boxes/wagons are located in the Chapel on Saturdays and Sanctuary on Sundays. Donations are given to Valley View Food Bank. valleyviewfoodbank.wordpress.com)
