Mission of the Month

Each month, the NUMC Outreach Team chooses an organization or initiative to support through monetary donations collected weekly. We call this our Mission of the Month. At times, you may hear these missions referred to as the “Advance Specials,” which is the historical term in our church. We use them interchangeably, so whichever term you use will be understood.

GET INVOLVED

Through the Mission of the Month, our Outreach Team highlights and partners with ministries locally, nationally, and internationally to strengthen their work growing God’s kingdom. Our partnerships gained in 2023 were Lahaina UMC in Maui, Family Promise of Bucks County, The Syrian American Medical Association, A Woman’s Place, the Wrightstown Food Pantry, and much more.

April Mission of the Month:

The Mission of the Month (Advance) for April is the Oak Grove United Methodist Church in Tylertown, Mississippi, an area in southern Mississippi that was devastated by the E-4 tornadoes that hit on March 15. According to Pastor Terry Thomas, “It looks like a war zone.” Both staff and congregation members of the church lost their homes and cars. Many in the area were hurt and three lost their lives. Some are still without power. If you would like to help Oak Grove UMC, please use one of the blue Advance offering envelopes in the pews and place it in the offering plate. You can also send a check to Newtown UMC, 35 Liberty Street, Newtown, PA 18940. Please mark your check “Advance for April.”
