Mission Connection

United Methodist churches are carrying out fantastic missions!  On this page, we highlight missions that are taking place around the Gulf Central District and invite you to be a part of them.  You don't have to be a member of the sponsoring church to join in, just get in touch with the contact person for any project you'd like to join and find out more.
 

Cold Night Shelter Volunteers Needed

Location: Downtown Clearwater
This opportunity is great for:   Adults, groups

When the temperature dips below 40 degrees, homeless families Clearwater area will have a warm place to spend the night, thanks to the in the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless and First United Methodist Church of Clearwater.  First United Methodist Church of Clearwater and the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless are sponsoring a Cold Night Shelter for homeless families at the church.  Anytime the overnight temperature is predicted to drop below 40 degrees, the Cold Night Shelter opens to admit families that are living on the streets.  A hot meal is served and warm beds are provided. 

Volunteers are needed to staff the shelter when it is open.  At least one man and one woman must be present overnight, and larger groups of volunteers are welcome. Maybe your Sunday School class, small group, or circle of friends would like to volunteer together!

Contact Lewis Hill at the church (727) 446-5595 to learn more or sign up.
