Missions Committee

Who are we?

Trinity Heights UMC Mission Work Group is a collection of individuals committed to transformative community and global service projects. We identify at least one project per month to focus our time, talents and monies collected from our congregation.

We loosely meet once monthly (currently on the 2nd Monday at 10 am at Bethel College Coffee Shop) to plan future events and to bring additional opportunities forward for consideration.

In the past year we have participated in “Laundry of Love”, financial support for Camp Horizon, participation in our Newton Community Thanksgiving event, cooked dinner and baked desserts for Circles of Hope, provided snack packs for children weekly at the Summer Educational Activities for Kids program, held churchwide food drive for Harvest of Love and provided support for New Hope, Safe Hope and Ember Hope.

May Missions Work Group Report:

$100 in quarters was collected from the Welcome Center jar and distributed to Laundry of Love. A food drive for the SEAK snack packs will be commencing for May and June. A list of suggested items will be made known to the congregation. Desserts were provided to a Circles of Hope meal this month. Peace with Justice Sunday is 6/15. Thank you to the congregation for your continued support.
