Missions & Ministry

A Message from Missions

Missions would like to thank everyone that contributed to the Giving Tree. We brightened the lives of the residents at Roosevelt Care Center in Old Bridge. For some, it was the only gift they received. Thanks again to Girl Scout Troop 80149 for labeling the tags.

The January communion offering will go to Human Relations.  Human Relations Day calls United Methodists to recognize the right of all God's children in realizing their potential as human beings in relationship with one another. The special offering benefits neighborhood ministries through Community Developers, community advocacy through United Methodist Voluntary Services and work with at-risk teens through the Youth Offender Rehabilitation Program. United Methodists celebrate Human Relations Day in conjunction with the national observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.

The February communion offering is for Peace with Justice. This is one of the six church wide special Sundays of The United Methodist Church. Peace with justice enables us to have a voice in advocating for peace and justice through a broad spectrum of global programs. This benefits ministries in the annual conference and through the General Board of Church and Society. The United Methodist Church's work of advocacy, The United Methodist Board of Church and Society works to provide "witness and action on issues of human well-being, justice, and peace" through research, education and training.

Have a Blessed and Happy New Year!

May God be with you through the New Year and fill your life with comfort, love and cheer. May this day and all the days ahead hold many blessings for you and the ones you love. In Jesus's name,
Amen.
