Past Missions

We are grateful for all of the opportunities God gives us to serve our neighbors near and far. Below are some past missions that we were blessed to have supported with our time, talents, or treasure.

PEOPLE IN NEED HOLIDAY CLEARINGHOUSE - COAT LAND SUCCESS!

The 70th PIN Holiday Clearinghouse went very well and could not have happened without the support of our church family. Thank you to everyone who donated money or coats, hats, and gloves. We also appreciated the many hands that came to the fairgrounds to help prepare the donations and transform that barn into a festive Coat Land. We had more than 1,800 coats for the parents to choose from on Distribution Day, and they were so grateful for all the toys, food, and coats they re- ceived. PIN will continue to distribute the excess coats throughout the winter. We pray that the 1,032 registered children will know that they are loved by God and their community.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD - November 2024

We served as a collection site again for Operation Christmas Child and also had many church members who packed a shoebox to help spread the good news of Jesus to children around the world! Thank you to all who supported this annual ministry!

PIN PRODUCE MARKET - OCTOBER 2024

In October, our crew of volunteers helped serve 175 families at the October Produce Market at People In Need, Inc. and brought some extra joy with their fun costumes!

WiLSON WEIGHT CHALLENGE for PIN - AUG 2024

Have you heard the good news? LCUMC met and exceeded its 5,000 pound goal for People in Need! This year’s drive garnered 5,836 pounds of food and toiletries for the Delaware County ministry. Thank you to all who donated to and volunteered for this beloved missional tradition in memory of Roy & Sarah Wilson, who were active members of our church for over 50 years and dedicated volunteers and advocates for PIN for many years.

PIN School Shoes - GOLD SPONSOR - JUNE 2024

Our church donated over $5,000 to cover 125 pairs of shoes for People In Need’s School Shoes program. We were blessed to be a gold sponsor to help children and youth start off their school year on the right feet!

MEMORIAL DAY FLAG DISPLAY SUCCESS- May 2024

Each year our church honors fallen military, police, and fire heroes as well as active duty military, first responders, and veterans with a large flag display throughout the Memorial Day weekend. We invite church and community members to drop by and pay their respects, and add an honor card to the display. Firefighters, Police, Military, & Vets can also show their ID for a free meal. We are thankful for our any volunteers who gave of their time to make this happen again in 2024.
