"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people..." Galatians 6:9-10
There are many ways to share in ministry at Souderton Mennonite Church. Through volunteering, sharing rooms in our buildings, and giving of financial or other resources, we can all devote ourselves to the work of God in the world! Here are a number of additional ministries SMC is involved in:
Interfaith Hospitality Network ~ Indian Valley Housing runs a network in the area that assists families in finding jobs and housing. Our church is involved in this network each year.
House of Hope ~ A house that the church owns has been renovated into apartments that can be rented out. Those leading this ministry work with the renters to assist them in times of housing crisis.
Aid for Friends ~ On the kiosk next to the Welcome Table in the church foyer, there are dinner tins that anyone is welcome to take home and fill with servings of dinner. Bring the full dinner tins back to the church to be placed in a freezer in the Community Center Kitchen. Volunteers from SMC take these meals to families in need in our community.
Blood Drive ~ Twice a year we hold a joint blood drive with Souderton Mennonite Homes (SMH). It is held at at SMC in January and at SMH in August.
Mission Sundays ~ A number of times each year, SMC's church offering is devoted solely to missions through Mennonite Mission Network and Franconia Mennonite Conference Missions.
Offering Projects ~ The congregation and the Children's Ministry department periodically hold special offerings to sponsor a number of different ministries such as The Heifer Project, Morning Star Ministries, Indian Valley Opportunity Center, etc.
Souderton Head Start & English as a Second Language (ESL) Classes ~ SMC hosts these two educational programs in classrooms throughout our building. The ESL classes are an extension of the work of Indian Valley Opportunity Center.
Compassion International ~ Many of the children, youth, and adult Sunday School classes sponsor children through this well-known charity organization.
