Polk City UMC has become well known for work in the fight to eradicate hunger. We support DMARC Food Pantry Networks and have a small community pantry in our parking lot. Click the links to learn how you can support each.
1. Diane & Steve Hammond Family: We are surrounding the Hammond family with love by providing meals 2 times/week for the next four weeks. To help Diane's heart heal, she is on a low-sodium diet. There are 3 of them at home now and food can be dropped off around 5 pm.
2. Alison & Jeff Johnson Family: To support the Johnson family as JJ recovers from a stroke, please consider signing up to take them a meal. If the meal can be freezer friendly, it would be appreciated due to hectic schedules. There are 5 in the family and food can be dropped off at 6 pm. Please no mushrooms or tomatoes - there are no food allergies.
Pastor Melody is building a Care Team who will help make calls to follow up on prayer requests, hospitalizations, or to check in on those who may be lonely, ill or disconnected. This team of lay people will help to build a safety net within the congregation to make sure that we are staying connected to one another, especially when someone is in need of care. If you are willing to make a few calls a week, and enjoy connecting with others, please sign up! Pastor Melody will contact you with more information.
WORSHIP TECH MINISTRY
We are looking for people who are tech minded who would be willing to learn how to run the technology we are using to live stream worship. We’d like to have a group of people trained so we can create a rotation much like other worship servant roles. Don't worry - if you can advance slides in Powerpoint, or follow a script to press a few buttons to switch between cameras, you already have the skills we're looking for!
