MISSIONS

GIVE IT UP FOR LENT

Each year, our members donate $1/day for the 40 days of Lent to raise funds supporting Bridging the Gap's food pantry.

Each $1/day, or $40/person, makes a huge difference. One soda, one snack, a cup of coffee. GIUFL and feed someone in need! Through the Give it Up for Lent campaign, $40 can purchase 400 lbs. of food at 10 cents per pound.

​

Donation containers will be in the Narthex beginning Ash Wednesday. Please make all checks payable to Newnan FUMC and mark “GIUFL” on the memo/for line.

EARLY RESPONSE TEAM

Our ERT joins other United Methodist Committees on Relief (UMCOR).​ We accept people of all experience levels who can 

​

• Provide clean-up and remediation (i.e., tarping roofs, mucking out flooded houses, chainsaw team). 

• Assist with rebuilding (i.e., roofing, siding, flooring, sheet rocking, other general construction needs).

Periodic trainings are available through the conference to become a badged ERT responder, chainsaw operator, and more. While training is required for some tiers of work, volunteers of all skill levels are welcome and needed. Anyone willing to work and a desire to serve will be a valuable asset to our team.

ONE ROOF

One Roof's mission is to serve the Lord by working with families in crisis in Coweta County offering food, clothing, and financial assistance. Their vision is to make a positive impact on the quality of life for Coweta County residents.

​​

We assist them by asking church members to bring in specific items on the 3rd Sunday of each month. Bring them to the altar to be prayed over, or drop them off in the work room conference space.​
