Outreach Ministry
Our Vision
"Our Vision is to have every member of our congregation connected in some way with Outreach Ministry. Building on a strong tradition, we have intentionally placed a special emphasis on reaching out beyond our walls to those in need. We invite you to join in with us!"
The Call to Outreach Ministry
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
-Matthew 25: 35-36

One of Worthington United Methodist Church’s long time Outreach ministries has been supporting New Life United Methodist Church. New Life is a small church, which has served the neighborhood of the Short North area for over 100 years. Volunteers from partner churches such as ours provide clothing of all types for women, men, and children; personal hygiene items; sleeping bags for the homeless; book bags for neighborhood children and adults; sheets; blankets;
and towels.
Volunteers from our church work in the clothing room, prepare and serve weekly breakfasts as well as monthly Sunday family dinners, mentor and tutor area youth, and assist in the Health and Wellness Center. Through all these ministries, about 2000 area people in need are served.
We invite you to join in this important effort by donating the items listed. As always, feel free to purchase any or all of the items on the list. Also, if you would like to learn more about how you can get involved in this ministry, please contact Debbie Varble at: debbievarble@wowwaycom or 614-888-3743.
