Feeding the homeless at at Isaiah 61

Missions

The Mission team helps direct the congregation toward projects and/or financial support outside our church campus, whether that be local projects or support for global initiatives such as the United Methodist Committee on Relief  (UMCOR) global missions.  We aspire to help each person explore their spiritual gift of mission by being the hands and feet of  Christ and invite our entire congregation to touch the lives of others as we serve God.


Everyone has different interests so there are many ways you can serve that we are already doing.  Or if you find a ministry that you would like to serve we may be able to work with you in that ministry as well.


Jesus said to go out and make disciples, heal the sick, help the widow and the poor.  That is what we the Hope Ministries family is working towards.

Serving at Isaiah 61

Feeding the Hungry

Every second Tuesday of the month we prepare food and serve at Isaiah 61 on Water Street in Laconia.  Always looking for folks willing to serve with us.  Also, we collect for the homeless and bring items to the location for distribution of Winter Warmth items and backpacks with necessities for those without a home.


We also serve meals with Hands Across the Table and Salvation Army's Friendly Kitchen.
