Food Pantry Challenge for June and July

Hunger doesn’t take a summer break, so our challenge for June and July is Summer Breakfast and Lunch. Help us keep pantries stocked for families who cannot rely on school meal programs through the summer. MUMC has set a goal of donating 3,000lbs. by Thanksgiving 2023. Through June 1, we’ve donated 1628 lbs. of food to Interfaith Food Pantry!

Recommended Items
Peanut Butter – 15-18oz. size
Boxes of Cereal
Oatmeal
Parmalat and Dry Milk
Boxes of Mac and Cheese
Canned Fruit
100% Fruit juice (32 oz. preferred)
Tuna Fish

School Supply Drive

This summer we will once again be collecting donations for school supplies for nourish.NJ clients. We have committed to filling 16 backpacks! To donate backpacks and the supplies to fill them, use this form. Donated items should be returned to the church by July 16 so we have time to pack everything and bring them to nourish.NJ by August 1.)

Monetary contributions are also gratefully accepted. The total cost for each filled backpack is $115. Put “school supply drive” in the memo line of your check (you can place it in the offering plate or mail it to the church) or give online, choosing “school supply drive” in the dropdown menu.

Fall Walk to Emmaus Dates Announced

Walk to Emmaus is a three-day experience which takes a New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle.  It is a highly structured weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of Christian people, and through them their families, congregations and the world in which they live.  Emmaus is a combined effort of laity and clergy toward the renewal of the church. Many people connected to Morristown UMC have participated in Walks and count their Walks as pivotal moments in their lives. This fall, there are two opportunities for Walks:

MEN’S WALK #50 – September 14- 17 at Sacred Heart Retreat Center

WOMEN’S WALK #50 – September 21-24 at Sacred Heart Retreat Center.

There will be an orientation gathering for anyone interested in learning more about Walk to Emmaus on Sunday, July 16 at 11:45am in the Wesley Room. A light lunch will be provided.
