This Week @ SSUMC

​​​

REPLENISH RESTORE THIS SUNDAY

Please bring non-perishable food donations and place them in the shopping cart in the Welcome Center.

Your donations support our partnership with Restore Food Pantry at Riverview First UMC and bring relief

to hunger experienced by the most vulnerable in our community.

 

CHRISTMAS CANTATA NEXT SUNDAY @ 10AM

SSUMC’s Combined Chorale will lead us in a Christmas Cantata – “Christmas Joy Around the World” –

in worship next Sunday. This is a great opportunity to invite family, friends, and neighbors to worship

with us as we prepare for the birth of our Savior through story and song!

 

CHRISTMAS CONFECTION AND COCOA SOCIAL FOLLOWING THE CANTATA

Bake a batch of your favorite Christmas Confection and bring it to share following our Christmas Cantata

on December 14. South Shore will provide the Cocoa and Coffee – and your donated treats will make

the morning oh so sweet! Thank you!

New View is in need of volunteers on Sunday, December 14th, immediately following service,

to help sort and hang clothing, pack non-perishable food bags, and pre-package cutlery in preparation for Dinner in the Park. New View is also in need of donated blankets, bug spray, after-bite, and gently used

male clothing & shoes. Please see Amber Jones

if interested, after service.
