Our church is one of 10 Family Promise host churches in Ozaukee County. Until COVID-19 Safe at Home, homeless families stayed at the host churches. Now they are in a hotel or at the Family Promise Shelter until they find a home.
In the meantime, we provide meals on Mondays and support this mission through monetary donation, nonperishable food and household supplies. |

Prayer Shawl Ministry is Here!
A prayer shawl is a comfort to those going through life threatening illnesses, grief, or any time of hardship.Our group has seen what a prayer shawl can do to bring comfort and hope to someone going through the shadow.
Thanks to Marie Widder for leading this new to MUMC ministry, we have the supplies ready to knit a prayer in every stitch as we make shawls and blankets for those who need comfort and hope.
Marie has packed kits with yarn and directions for you to take. Pattern directions are included and knitting needles are available. If you don't know how to knit, or it's been a long time since you did, Marie is providing lessons and fellowship on the second Monday of every month.
Pastor Sue will take the shawls with her when she visits our shut-ins and those going through medical treatments. We will also provide them to chaplains in nursing homes and hospitals.
