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. Below is the note I received from Roosevelt Care Center.

Thank you so much again. We truly appreciate you bringing the gifts and for your thoughtfulness in making sure all of our residents are considered. Your generosity and care mean a great deal to us, and it will surely bring joy to everyone.

Thank you again for your kindness and blessings.

Warmly,
Luccina Morris

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 Elijah's Promise in New Brunswick.  Elijah's Promise founded their initial community soup kitchen in 1989. Today they operate as an independent nonprofit and continue to work with a variety of religious organizations and spiritual groups throughout our community in efforts to end food insecurity, improve lives, and inspire change in Greater New Brunswick and Central New Jersey. The values shape who they are and what they strive to do by ending hunger, breaking the cycle of poverty, promoting healthy, sustainable food, empowering individuals through job training and opportunity, creating businesses that create social good and providing dignity and honor to those they serve. They provide hundreds of free meals daily in a dignified setting. They have distributed a record amount of winter coats, socks and hygiene products to homeless individuals and restarted the Promise Culinary School, giving clients critical job training for employment. Please help by giving generously to this incredible organization.

Have a Blessed and Happy New Year!
May your faith in God grow stronger this year, the peace of God surround you and may you be blessed each and every day. Amen
