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.
