Go into all the world and proclaim the good news...! - Mark 16.15
The Sand Point UMC Missions Ministry Team is dedicated to serving our community and our world. Our working motto is "To reach out to people in need" - be they here in our own View Ridge neighborhood or across the globe.
Special Offerings: Loose change in each Sunday's offering is given to missions, with a different project designated each month. We call it "Melodies of Compassion," since you can hear the change jingling in the offering plates.
University District Food Bank: The needs are up; donations are down. We are asking the congregation to bring a can of food a week per person to each worship service and each meeting attended.
Sand Point Housing: As part of a neighborhood interfaith coalition, we help stock and staff the Resource Room, providing free household items for families and individuals in transitional housing.
UMCOR (United Methodist Committee On Relief) Kits – there continues to be an urgent need for kits to send to places across the United States and world-wide. Lists and the address of the UMCOR Depot are available from the church office.
Jamaa Letu: This is the orphanage that our Pacific Northwest Conference raised funds to build in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Sand Point congregation supports the children through sponsorships, and has sent mission team members to assist in person. If you would like to sponsor one of the boys or girls, visit www.hopeforthechildrenofafrica.com
Our Missions Ministry Team continues to be an open group. New people are always welcome! Call the church office (206-523-3040) for more information.
