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.

July Mission of the Month:

The Mission of the Month (Advance) for July is The Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS). Founded in the United States in 1998, it has become one of the most active and leading medical relief organizations working on the front lines of crisis relief in Syria, Turkey, and neighboring countries. SAMS has established field hospitals, intensive care units, dental and primary care clinics, birth and newborn care facilities, mobile medical units, and dialysis centers to those living in refugee camps. SAMS brings together medical professionals from around the world to provide lifesaving, dignified health care to those in need. If you would like to help with this mission, you can use the blue envelopes in the pews in the Sanctuary. You can also send a check to Newtown United Methodist Church, 35 Liberty Street, Newtown, PA 18940. Please mark your check “Advance for July.”
