In practice...
We work to carry out the social principles of the Methodist Church where we live:
-
We support Seven Loaves food pantry by Staffing Tuesday mornings with volunteers, and collecting and donating food, at our Sunday services and through various drives
-
We bring the community together in events like Spaghetti Dinners, Rummage Sales, and by providing a civic meeting space.
-
We make quilts for Project Linus, and for anyone needing a personal touch of support.
-
We have a Chair Yoga social / wellness get-together on Wednesdays that anyone can drop in to anytime.
-
And we are actively engaged with our community to truly understand our place here and provide a unique mission that fills a need.
Our Methodist Social Principles
"We have been known as a denomination involved with people's lives, with political and social struggles, having local to international mission implications. Such involvement is an expression of the personal change we experience in our baptism and conversion.
​
The United Methodist Church believes God's love for the world is an active and engaged love, a love seeking justice and liberty. We cannot just be observers. So we care enough about people's lives to risk interpreting God's love, to take a stand, to call each of us into a response, no matter how controversial or complex. The church helps us think and act out a faith perspective, not just responding to all the other 'mind-makers-up' that exist in our society."
