"Go Therefore and Make Disciples of All Nations"
-Matthew 28:18-20
May Mission of the Month
Friendship Circle Ministry
The Friendship Circle has been a vital part of our church community for many years. Through bake sales and donations collected during our meetings, we have made significant contributions to both local and international causes.
Our support has reached organizations such as the Matthew 25 Food Bank, Diapers, Operation Smile, Ukraine relief efforts, UTC Graduation Students, school supplies for India, Good Samaritan Services, and many others! Additionally, we create teacher baskets to express our gratitude for their commitment to the students.
The Friendship Circle gathers on the first Monday of each month from October to June at 1:00 p.m. in Room 19 featuring programs that resonate with our church and community. We invite you to join us!
On Sunday, May 4th, The Friendship Circle will be present on our church patio to share their impactful work and its effect on our community. They are also organizing a “Little Blessings Diaper & Wipes Drive” in support of Abundant Life, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Apollo Beach that assists single mothers facing unplanned pregnancies. Abundant Life offers mentorship, support groups, baby showers, and various resources to aid these mothers on their journey.
Please remember to bring new packages of diapers and baby wipes to support these new moms by Mother’s Day, May 11th.
Through your generous donations, we aim to demonstrate the love of Jesus through compassion, kindness, and grace, fostering joy in motherhood and a sense of support from our community.
We are a passionate congregation about reaching out in our local community as well as across the world with the love of Jesus Christ. We try to include an element of Missions in almost everything we do. We love traveling to places such as Africa, Peru, Cuba and many more as well as helping local missions such as the Fight Against Human Trafficking, Good Samaritan Mission, our UMC Children's Home and many more. Please consider getting involved in making a difference.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Mission of the Month at the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. As the Mission team, we are excited to learn more about your mission.
We receive many requests to become part of this program. We prayerfully read all applications with special consideration given to missions whose program is dedicated to making disciples of Jesus Christ and show a proven history of successful ministry. All missions accepted as Mission of the Month must support the mission and vision of the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. Because we currently have many applications, not every mission that applies will be accepted this year.
We will closely study the goals of your mission, the actual percentage of your proposed budget that directly supports the slated mission, and your plans for documentation and ongoing evaluation and accountability. Should we support your mission, we will ask for a follow up at the end of the year, stating how the funds that you received were used.
Please complete the enclosed application and return it to:
