Children's Missions
MPUMC's children are currently
participating in two major missions: Change for
Children and Food for FISH. See the descriptions below for more information on
each of these missions as well as the latest news
and initiatives.
Mission: Change
for Children
Description:
This mission is based
on the belief that the pocket change of
Christians can indeed change the world for
children and their families.
Collection
point:
Every Sunday during
the "Children's Moment" which is part of
Traditional Services.
Coordinator:
Ann Cover
Who is
Helped?
The coins collected will be
used for grants to support new and existing
ministries with children from birth through
age twelve and their families who are
economically disadvantaged. Half the money
stays right here in Holston Conference. Half
the money is given to Hope for the Children
of Africa.
Description:
This mission collects
food for our church's food pantry, which
supports FISH—an all volunteer organization
that distributes food to the needy in our
community.
Collection
point:
Bins are located
outside the Food Pantry which is across the
hall from the Gymnasium. Children bring
items to Sunday School each week.
Coordinator:
Ann Cover
Who is
Helped?
This program helps anyone
from the Knoxville area who calls the FISH
network. MPUMC mans the FISH phone and packs
and delivers food on the fourth Friday of
each month.

be collected:
January – Canned
Fruit
February – Jelly
March – Green Beans
April – Apple Sauce
