Rockville UMC Gleans Sweet Corn
On July 25th volunteers from Rockville UMC gleaned sweet corn
at Miller's Produce near Jericho Springs, MO for the Society of St. Andrew
(SoSA). About 650 lbs. of corn was taken to Rockville, MO and distributed
to the community from their church. For more information on SoSA gleaning
and growing projects contact Jeff Baker at the Office of Creative Ministries;
baker@umocm.com or 573-474-7155.
Missouri UMC Youth Plant Cabbage
Youth from Missouri United Methodist Church in Columbia, MO
volunteered their time to plant cabbage for a Society of St. Andrew growing
project. They planted approximately 1,800 heads of cabbage that will be harvested and donated to local food
pantries. For more information on how to volunteer with the Society of St.
Andrew contact Jeff Baker at baker@umocm.com.
Taylor Chapel UMC Free Lunch Program
 
Last year Taylor Chapel started a Free Summer
Lunch program through another church in Sedalia. Even though it is
a smaller church, Taylor Chapel learned they too could do outreach
ministry and has done so with this partnership. During their first
year they passed out 55 sack lunches to youth and adults in the
community. In April they served approximately 90 people at a free
community dinner at the Sedalia Housing Authority thanks to an
outreach grant. During this dinner they handed out papers about the
church and about the free summer lunch program. Many who attended
this dinner now take part in their free lunch program. The
Free Lunch Program runs May 26 - September 3, 2009. For more
information contact Rev. Calvin Prichard at 660-826-2805.

We coordinate such ministries as: the Festival of Sharing,
Volunteers in Mission, Heifer Project International, the Society of St.
Andrew, the Christian Native Craft Festival, Disaster Response and many
