A Message from Missions

The Communion offering for December is United Methodist Communities.  For over a century, United Methodist Communities has compassionately served senior citizens at facilities across New Jersey. Their full service communities are modern, beautiful assisted living communities with a huge infrastructure of aides, medical experts and equipment to serve seniors of every need. United Methodist communities have settings that beautifully balance levels of independence and security.  At United Methodist Communities, "living the abundant life" is a key part of our faith based mission. Their philosophy and customized services enhance the lives of every person who calls United Methodist Communities home. This combination of humanity and vitality form the foundation for an abundant life. Unlike other "for-profit" senior care facilities in New Jersey, United Methodist Communities is first and foremost driven by its principles of faith and its charitable mission to serve seniors of all faiths, backgrounds, and needs. They believe in following "the footsteps of Christ" to deliver physical and emotional care and support, as well as to foster spirituality and the joy of faith for all those who seek it.

The Giving Tree will be up in Friendship Hall. The gifts will again go to The Roosevelt Care Center in Old Bridge. Some residents have no family, and our gifts are the only ones they receive. Please take a tag from the tree, purchase the gift and return it by December 15th. We are asking that you please wrap the gift and firmly attach the tag to the outside of the package. Please ensure the tag says what is inside and the size so they can be distributed to the proper resident. A special thanks to the Girl Scouts from troop 80149 for their generosity and help this year labeling the tags.  The food pantry continues to help those in need. Thanks to everyone that helps keep the shelves filled.  Please give generously to all these mission projects. Thank you for all your help throughout the year.

Wishing you a blessed Christmas filled with peace, hope, joy and love
