Mission Work
Mission work at Lindenwald Community Church
The Mission Committee sponsors several local projects throughout the year as well as financial support to UMCOR for disaster relief. Our food pantry supplies are periodically donated to Sojourners for their meals for homeless persons.
Some local projects include:
Donations to Sojourner for Basket of Hope
Backpacks and school supplies for our local schools
Meals for our local fire stations
Support for local teachers with school supplies
Fifth Sunday loose change given to youth for church camp
UMCOR
Each Communion Sunday we accept food donations for a local food bank
Matthew 25 Ministries Project
We continue to collect empty pill bottles (both prescription and over-the-counter) for Matthew 25 Ministries. This is a ministry that helps in all parts of the world, and is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Matthew 25 Ministries collects used pill bottles in order to shred and then sell to companies that recycle. The ministry uses this money then to support their outreach. There will be containers in the Welcome Center at the back of the Sanctuary, and in Fellowship Hall, in which you may place your empty pill bottles. The labels do not need to be taken off as they are shredded also. If you prefer, you can take a marker and mark through the name on the label.
