UMCOR
UMCOR is the humanitarian relief and development agency of the United Methodist Church, a worldwide denomination. Compelled by Christ, UMCOR responds to natural or human made disasters—those interruptions of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community's ability to recover on its own.
Mission Possible Kids- Grades K-4th meet every Wednesday night from 6-6:30 pm to learn about mission work while engaging in local, national, and global mission projects.
Project 2:20- Is a youth outreach program. It gets it's name from James 2:20: "You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?"
The meetings take place on the 2nd Monday of every month at 4 pm. We pick up in the church van from Madison Central, Rosa Scott, and Madison Middle.
If you interested in getting involved with any of our mission programs, please contact Erin Summerlin at 601-856-2733 or info@parkwayhillsumc.org
