Marion House: Think back to July 19th 2008. That was Sunrise Church day at the Marion House Soup Kitchen. I know everyone in the church was and still is very excited about what we did that day. We had over 200 volunteers from Sunrise serve meals to over 700 needy people and Sunrise also provided all the food and drinks for the occasion. OK so with all that said, the Missions Ministry is looking to make this even bigger for Sunrise People. We are working with the Marion House Staff to do a quarterly Sunrise service day at the Marion House. We need 25 to 30 volunteers. These service days would be Feb. 16, May 18, Aug 17 and Nov 23. We need volunteers to serve and prepare meals, and clean up from 7:00am until 2:00pm. It is preferred that volunteers work the entire shift. For these service days the Marion House will be providing all the food.
Also start thinking about the Sunrise Cook Out It will probably be a lot bigger this year as the need at the Marion House is much greater. The tentative date for this is Sep 19th with a back up date of Sep 23rd.
If you are interested in being a participant in the quarterly service days, please contact Gary at 598-7013 ext. 22 , 719-337-8538, or e-mail garyw@sunriseumc.com.
There is a meeting scheduled for Feb 5, 2009 at 6:30pm, room 218. If you are interested in being a part of this great ministry please mark this date on your calendar.
