You can improve the lives of people in our community and throughout the world by joining members, neighbors and friends, of Red Mountain United Methodist Church, on Sunday, May 20, at Change the World, a day devoted to local and global outreach projects.
Worship services at 7:45, 9 and 10:30 a.m., on this important Sunday in May, will be abbreviated so all attendees may participate.
There will be an opportunity for people of all ages, physical abilities and talents to be involved, from making quilt squares, to preparing lunches for the local men’s shelter. Teams will fan out across the neighborhood in a Walk for Water Safety effort aimed at preventing needless drowning. Working side by side, participants will have the chance to clean up the banks of the Salt River.
The most ambitious project on May 20 will be packaging 10,000 meals as part of Stop Hunger Now, an international relief organization driven by the vision of a world without hunger. A team of 40 to 50 volunteers will package dehydrated, high protein, nutritious meals into small bags containing six servings. Every meal is fortified with 21 essential vitamins and minerals. The meals are easy to transport, have a long shelf life, and cost only 25 cents to create. All costs will be covered by donations.
Change the World is a global movement of United Methodists doing what they can to reach out to their communities to make a positive difference. Last year, more than 1,600 individual churches hosted events, impacting thousands of lives worldwide.
