Food drive
Lidstone Memorial United Methodist Church will join United Methodists worldwide to Change the World, a church-wide event on May 14-15 that prompts members to join with others in the community to make a difference locally and globally. Lidstone United Methodist church will participate by sending out volunteers on May 14 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. to canvas area communities to collect nonperishable food items.
Because hunger should not be normal for 925 million people, we want to help. Church members and friends will gather in the church’s parking lot on May 14 at 10 a.m. to organize into teams and divide up the areas to be covered. Volunteers will be given name badges so they can be easily recognized as participants in Change the World.
The global Change the World event was created as part of The United Methodist Church’s Rethink Church campaign, which seeks to utilize outreach events that embrace the concept of outward-bound church to make a positive difference in the world beyond the church doors. The concept for Change the World originated with the Rev. Mike Slaughter, lead pastor at Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City, Ohio, who authored a book by the same name that aligns with the vision of Rethink Church.
For more information or if your church would like to join us, contact Lisa Reed at 493-0989 or e-mail randsguide@ainop.com.
