October 7th is World Communion Sunday
This Special Sunday is dedicated to educating and empowering people called to ministry who need financial support to attend college and seminary. Through your donations, they are able to go on to the ministry and missionary work God calls them to do. They are the world changers who go into their communities and bring hope and peace in the name of Jesus Christ.

Our Thanksgiving Projects Start on Sunday, October 28
Bread Sunday

Thanksgiving Food Drive
|
|
Bake a loaf - buy a loaf and start off the Thanksgiving season!
All funds raised through the bread sale go to Family Sharing of Ozaukee County. |
Fill a grocery bag or two with food for a Thanksgiving dinner and bring them to church.
Family Sharing will pick up our food donations on November 12 and make sure families living in poverty in Ozaukee County can celebrate Thanksgiving with a complete dinner. To help with this project, contact Susan Yorio. |
Thanksgiving Dinner at the Mealsite
MUMC prepares and serves the Thanksgiving meal at the Harambee St. Vincent de Paul Mealsite.
We take the entire meal, including turkey and stuffing, ham, gravy, vegetables, potatoes, and desserts. The sign-up sheet will be on the Mission Outreach bulletin board in the church entrance.
Those of us who take the food and stay to serve will meet at the church at 9:00 AM on Thanksgiving Day. The meal is served at 11:00 AM and we are home to celebrate with our families by 1:00 PM.
For more information, contact Ireene Sullivan or any Mission Outreach Team Member.
