General Info:
Risk-Taking Mission & Service Missions are an important part of who we are as a congregation. We have been blessed to be a blessing to others. We are active in local, national and international mission that benefit the least of these as Jesus commanded. Last year area businesses and professionals, along with Shawnee United Methodist Church and St. Charles Catholic Church, raised over two million meals for distribution by the WEST OHIO FOOD BANK More than 150, 000 local people are served annually by its 200 member agencies in Allen and the surrounding 10 counties. With this bleak economic situation, more people, especially women and children, are relying on the food bank for their meals. Therefore, it is more important than ever for us to contribute generously to this cause. If you would like to contribute to this worthwhile cause, you can send a check ( with "Harvest for the Hungry" on the memo line ) to Shawnee United Methodist Church 2600 Zurmehly Road, OH 45806 Lima by Monday, November 15. In 1992, Shawnee embarked upon what is now its top priority, the alleviation of suffering and provision of hope for the people of northern Haiti. Currently, Shawnee is in partnership with the Victory Christian Center, to provide education, medical treatment, microeconomic loans, and economic opportunity for people who live in and around the village of Borde, Haiti. Shawnee is also a partner with Living Hope Mission which has built churches and schools, initiated nutritional programs and education, and basic medical care in isolated areas all over northern and central Haiti. If you would like more information on our work in Haiti, would like to travel with us as we serve there, or would like to make some other contribution to this ministry, please contact Charlotte Hefner at charlotte@shawneeumc.com Please call the church office 419 991 4806 if you are interested in working in Haiti with us in 2011.
