Serve

“For I was hungry, and you fed me. Thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger, and you received me in your home” – Matthew 25:35

As followers of Christ, we are called to help “the least of these.” The members of Mt. Vernon use their time, talents, and offerings to be involved with various outreaches that benefit the local and global community.

Our congregation collects food to donate to the St. Olaf Food Pantry and to From His Hands to help feed those in need who reside in the surrounding area. The Pastor’s Fellowship fund helps those who are going through difficult times. Members volunteer at Proclaiming Grace in Barhamsville, as well as FISH of Willliamsburg. Mt. Vernon members also serve at other nonprofit service agencies not listed here. On a broader scale UMCOR relief kits are assembled to help people in the United States and worldwide when disaster strikes.

Here is a sample of some of the many service opportunities available to Mt. Vernon members. YES—you can make a difference!
