Mission

Mission Looking for a place where you can make a difference? Mission and outreach are an integral part of who we are at New Life United Methodist Church.

We strive to make a difference in our community through wood delivery, hosting homeless guests for a week, sharing gifts and music with local nursing homes, a Mission Garden and more. We have been to the Gulf Coast several times in an effort to rebuild lives and homes that have been damaged by Hurricane Katrina. We have also been in mission to Alaska and Costa Rica.

All age groups from grade school to our older adults participate in the various mission projects offered by the church.

  • Gleaning Clothing - It is that time of year again for a unique opportunity to glean clothing. We will be taking Spring clothing that we glean from the Bon Air Community Center & West End Assembly of God Consignment Sales to McDowell County.

    The Bon Air Community Center Sale & Gleaning will take place on Sunday, March 4th. We will meet at BACC at 6:30pm and help glean.

    The WEAG sale will take place on Saturday, March 10th. We will meet at WEAG at 1:30pm to glean.

    So, if you have about an hour of time to spend on either day, please come on out and help us help the children of McDowell County. For more information please see Missions Team Chair Les Deane, or Connections Director Lori Epps.
  • McDowell County Mission Opportunity - We will be packing up our church trailer and loading all of the clothing items we have gleaned to take to the McDowell County mission.

    We have the exciting opportunity to offer a Children's Fair to the children in that community in conjunction with distributing the children's clothing to those in need. The vision is to offer face painting, games, food, and a smiling face to the children and families of McDowell County.

    We will leave from church on Friday, April 20th in the late afternoon/early evening to drive to McDowell County, West Virginia. We will offer the Fair on Saturday, April 21st. We are making plans for some to come back on Saturday while others can stay until Sunday to worship with the community.

    There will be a minimal cost for food and transportation. If you are interested in being on a planning team for the fair and/or attending this mission opportunity please sign-up with Missions Team Chair Les Deane, or Connections Director Lori Epps.
