This enables the church to reach out to children to share the love of Jesus.
#JOINING HANDS MISSION UMC FULL#
Members pack a shoebox full of specified items to ship to children around the world. In the fall, the church participates in collecting items for Operation Christmas Child sponsored by Samaritan's Purse International Relief.
Your check may be made payable to Hardy Memorial United Methodist Church with a notation: For Heifer International. Donations help to provide livestock, seeds, and training to struggling families, each gift-giving an opportunity for self-reliance to a struggling family. Consider giving a donation to Heifer International as a Christmas gift. This organization makes it possible to give families in Third World Countries a hand-up, rather than a hand-out and by doing so to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. Heifer International's mission is to work with communities in an effort to end world hunger and poverty. We need volunteers to do BINGO on the 1st Saturday of each month, from 2 to 3 p.m. Our committee has adopted Sterling House to help connect with and meet the needs of their elderly residents, some of which are members of our church. Please consider the Compassion Fund when making donations to memorials, etc. This fund helps to defray expenses incurred when the church provides a meal for a bereaved family and also makes it possible for us to help the needy. Hardy's Compassion Fund is very important in the life of the church. We will pair people in our congregation that need a helping hand with someone in our congregation willing to lend one. If you would like to be a part of this mission and have the time and skills to donate to a worthwhile pursuit, please contact Mack Walker at (903)838-4393 or Mary Spencer at (903)671-3622. This is a new mission that we are working to organize - a group of Hardy members who can be contacted and who will provide help to other Hardy members who have a need. Other people in our congregation are willing to help. Many people in our congregation have just such needs. Our church families had the opportunity to give back to the community! We repaired roofs, raked leaves, repaired porches, packaged beans and rice, delivered fresh flowers to the Nursing Homes and even painted a classroom on campus! It was a great day!Ĭan you do simple household repairs? Can you drive someone to an appointment? Can you take someone grocery shopping? Can you pick up a prescription for someone? If the answer is "Yes" then YOU can be a Hardy Helping Hand.
