Mission Covenant
As a part of our commitment to making disciples through service, Speedway UMC members are encouraged each year to make a pledge to support our Mission Covenant through giving and volunteering. We exceeded this year's financial goal. We support 12 projects each year through our gifts, prayers and service.
This Month's Mission Focus: Hope for Tahanovce
Located in Kocise in the eastern part of Slovakia, Tahanovce is a neighborhood where the United Methodist Church offers after-school care, summer programs and the first United Methodist worship service in the city.
Our goal: $2,000.
October is Mission Month
October is a month long celebration of the year round mission projects we support through our Mission Covenant Pledge. The month begins with World Communion Sunday on the first Sunday and concludes with Mission Covenant Sunday on the last Sunday during which we dedicate our pledges for the new year. Throughout the month we send out mission teams to work in the community. Our teams have led worship at the Marion County Jail, worked on renovating low-income housing, cleaned youth centers, served soup kitchens, tutored persons for whom English is a second language, walked in the CROP Walk, sang and performed at nursing homes and homeless shelters, and packed supplies for Operation Classroom.
This Year's Schedule will included Operation Classroom Packing Party; , Attorney Ginger Jacob's presentation on the DREAM Act; UMYF presentation on Restoring Lives West;CROP Walk; UM Jail Ministries @ the Marion County Jail.
