nEWAYGO UNITED METHODIST CHURCH IS A GIVING CHURCH
fOLLOWING ARE some of the LOCAL MISSIONS SUPPORTED BY numc
The Newaygo United Methodist Church is a member of the Kids Hope USA family. Kids Hope USA is a one-to-one mentoring program for children beginning in kindergarten and continuing through the fourth grade. Children are matched with trained volunteer mentors. These Christians are a consistent, positive presence in the life of a special child as they meet at the school for one hour each week during the entire school year. The main focus is to build a loving relationship and academics are secondary. A behind-the-scenes prayer partner is also matched with each mentor-child relationship. The children, mentors and prayer partners are all blessed by this experience.
LOVE INC
LOVE In the Name of Christ (LOVE INC) - Newaygo County is a resource center and emergency aid program dedicated to helping people in need by providing goods and services through area church and community resources--Helping People Help People. Newaygo United Methodist Church folks volunteer at LOVE INC on Fridays which allows the retail store to stay open from 9am - 4pm. Church members are also encouraged to donate clean used household goods, clothing, furniture and appliances which are then given or sold to persons in need.
LOVE INC FOOD PANTRY
Together with other area churches we support a food pantry for the persons of the Newaygo and Grant area. Through donations of money and nonperishable food items, we are able to help families with an immediate need for assistance with food. The pantry is located at Love INC and is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10am - 2pm and Tuesday from 10am - 2pm and 5pm - 7pm.
OTHER LOCAL & GLOBAL MISSIONS
Newaygo United Methodist Church also takes up a noisy offering each month on the 4th Sunday to help various other local and global ministries. We give where the need is the greatest each month.
