IMPACT
On June 5, United Methodists across our Conference will make and IMPACT on our communities with the
love of Jesus Christ as we become the hands and feet of Christ seeking to meet the needs of others. In the
Albemarle District, projects are being planned by local churches; in Anson, Stanly, and Union Counties; and
through a “Mobilepack” event at Mineral Springs UMC, coordinated through Feed My Starving Children, to
package meals for the people of Haiti.
Our goal is for people from each congregation in the district to be in ministry on June 5. Then in worship on
Sunday, June 6, we invite you to celebrate the lives that were touched and the ways God worked through
you to make a difference in our world. We will further celebrate our impact on western North Carolina at
Annual Conference which begins the following week.
For MUMC’s part, our youth will travel to Mineral Springs UMC on Friday, June 4 to pack meals with other youth across the area. On Saturday, June 5 other members of our church and community are invited to pack meals. We will also be packing health kits at our Block Party on May 23rd to replenish those sent to the people in Haiti and to the flood and tornado ravaged parts of Tennessee, Mississippi and Oklahahoma.
