In 2017 Asbury United Methodist Women was able to make financial contributions of
approximately $9,000!
Contributions were made to the global missions of the United Methodist Church through a Pledge to Missions. We also support special offerings and local missions with individual pledges, the annual Soup Fest and the Nut Sale. These local missions include the Asbury
Children’s Center, Asbury Youth, Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), Cross-Lines and Della Lamb.
Other mission outreach efforts include:
coordinating the collection of school
supplies
Church World Service Blanket Sunday
collection of hats, gloves and scarves for area charities; Emberhope (Youthville)
gardening items for The Big Garden
Ministry to Incarcerated Families
Cornerstone of Care (Spofford)
Asbury UMW members also serve at CLiK (at Cross-Lines).
