Among the Least of These

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat...

    I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink...


BACKPACK BLESSINGS FOR SOUTHSIDE ELEMENTARY

Coordinator: Connie Limbaugh

In partnership with the guidance counselor, we provide small "Backpack Blessings" of food for students who are likely not receiving proper (if any) nutrition over the weekend. Because the supplies are purchased in bulk, those supporting this ministry make monetary donations to SUMC, For: Backpack Blessings. 


WAY OF THE CROSS

Coordinator: Connie Limbaugh

Way of the Cross is a soup kitchen located in downtown Gadsden which feeds 300-500 people a day as an expression of the love & welcome of Christ. At least once a year, we schedule volunteers to help serve lunch each day of the week (10:45am-1:00pm), as well as for their Friday night meal (4:30-6:30pm).


YOUTH MISSION TRIP

Coordinator: Ashton Gray

Every summer, the youth of our church give one week of their summer vacation to help others in need.  Our church family wants to instill in our young people the desire to help others like Christ, therefore we do all we can to support the mission opportunities. 


HOMEBOUND VISITATION

Coordinator: Pastor Davis Johnson

Our congregation has many people who have been an integral and beloved part of our church family for many years. Unfortunately, due to age or changing health, they are no longer able to be a physical presence in the church. To express our continued love and care for them, a team of church members ministers to them through monthly visits, weekly phone calls, and occasionally mailing them cards.
