Asbury United Methodist Church asks that you pass this information
along to all Single Parents that you may know.

Theme Verse

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.  If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?  Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.  This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence…1 John 3:16-19 NIV

The Single Parent Ministry needs volunteers to:

 

    Help distribute food and clothing (at the church)

    Donate clothing

    Make reminder phone calls

    Pray for our families

 

This is a wonderful opportunity for our Seniors to get involved, share your nurturing and wisdom, to bless and be blessed.

Welcome to Asbury United Methodist Church's Single Parent Ministry Website!  We're glad you're here!  Our hope is to keep this page updated with current events of this ministry as well at the church. 

 

Our beginning, Single Parent Ministry at Asbury UMC was established in 1996 as an outreach to the community.  This ministry is very much volunteer based.  Church members as well as single parents assist with every event.  There are four major functions throughout the year; an Easter “Ham Dinner” Meat Sale & Oil Change, Back Packs and supplies and a Meat Sale offered in August, a Thanksgiving “Turkey Basket” and  Meat Sale, and lastly the “Christmas for Kids” Wish Tree.   

 

Asbury UMC basically offers a Meat Sale three times a year, back packs and school supplies just before school begins, and Christmas gifts for the children of the single parent families.  There are currently about 90 families registered with the church with a total of 200 children.  For information concerning this ministry or needing information to register a single parent family, please contact the church office at 407-644-5222.

 

May God Bless You and Yours,
