Mission Trip

For the United States

“For who is greater, he who sits at the table or he who serves?

Is it not he who sits at the table?

Yet I am among you as the One who serves.”

Luke 22:27 (NKJV)

WATCH FOR DETAILS FOR FUTURE TRIPS

 

SUMC historically takes a mission trip each year to Section, Alabama where work is done with Upper Sand Mountain Parish. While there, we have done a variety of tasks over the years:

 

  • worked inside resale stores restocking shelves, painted walls, tore up flooring;
  • "demoed" part of a house, remodeled a bathroom, installed paneling, installed. ceiling fans and windows; 
  • made jam in the cannery, sorted school supplies, and other ‘smaller’ tasks; spent a lot of time in the community.

 

Most of the dinners are provided by the community. Dutton invites the group to their church for a potluck. (The young adults think it is THE best food they've ever had!) Along with Dutton, we go to another church where they provide a meal and have a church service that we attend. In 2019, Pastor Woody, who is in charge of the parish and the pastor of a church within the parish, ‘stole’ all the young adults to spend time with his youth group at the church.

 

We leave early Sunday morning usually around 8 am and return Saturday afternoon.
