As adults we face pressures from all angles. Whether you are single, a parent, young, older or anything in between life can be difficult. At Stockbridge UMC we are dedicated to bringing ministries that empower people, love people and help people grow as Christians in this world. Our ministries are wide and broad reaching and we hope you will take time to read about each, but also want to know more.
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
The United Methodist Women, or UMW, is a group of women who come together once a month for two main reasons: mission and fellowship.
At Stockbridge First, we believe that reaching out to the social missions of our community is a vital part ofourmission. UMW is in the process of planning a variety of activities for 2009 and would love to have you join them. The women of UMW would love all women of the church to join with them, and invite you to consider attending their next meeting for a great time of fellowship and friends. They now hold breakfast meetings on the 2nd Saturday of each month at 8:30am in room 238.
UNITED METHODIST MEN: The United Methodist Men (UMM) would like to invite all men ages 15 and up to join us for breakfast and fellowship. We meet on the second Saturday of each month at 8:30am. Typically, the meetings last about an hour.
The UMM is a group of men who come together for the four F’s: FAITH, FELLOWSHIP, FOOD, and FUN. We are involved in the life of the church and the community through many events. Our annual Pork and Chicken BBQs and the church Pumpkin Patch in October are huge hits. We also host a Pit Stop (car inspection) twice a year for our seniors of the church and the community. For those that like to play in the dirt, we also have work days maintaining the grounds of the church. If you’re looking for some fun, we play paintball with our youth and enjoy bowling, golfing and fishing with each other. We also continue to support our
local missions through blanket drives and canned food drives to our local food pantry.
As you can see, UMM has a little bit of everything to offer. So come and join us and we will get you on course!
SMALL GROUPS: We have a wonderful selection of small groups for all ages. They meet on Sunday at 9:45 a.m. and throughout the week.
RELAY FOR LIFE: We are very involved in cancer support and attend the annual Relay For Life. Come join us and let’s find a cure for cancer.
CANCER CONNECTION: If you are a cancer survivor or someone who has lost a friend or loved one to cancer come and be a part of this special group. They will love you and listen to you.
BIBLE STUDIES: We have many ways in which you can learn and grow deeper in your walk. Find out how and get connected with a great Bible study. Learn about God, yourself and meet a great group of people.
