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.

March Missions Work Group Report:

A full grocery cart of food was donated to Harvest of Love this month. Thank you, congregation! $200 will be donated to Laundry of Love. Again, thank you for putting your quarters in the jar on the Welcome Center for this cause! Shari Kaiser, Bev Stigge, and Eileen Kloster have served on 2 evening shifts at New Hope this month. Time to think about gardening!! Community Garden spots available. See Allen Wedel, or Diane, in the office, if you are interested. 3/30 is UMCOR Sunday; special donations are appreciated. Hint: TP is an item that quickly disappears from the Blessing Box.

-Shari Kaiser, Allen Wedel, Harlan and Judy Rittgers, Cynthia Wyss, and Jodie Thach
