November Mission: Holy Grounds

A cornerstone ministry of Centenary UMC, Holy Grounds was started by the passion of a congregation member who wanted the church to get to know its neighbors in the immediate neighborhood. What began as a small gathering of individuals over coffee has grown into a full breakfast ministry, serving 45-90 people 6-7 days a week. Holy Grounds has become an important resource in the community for relationship building, food security, and a place where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Holy Grounds provides a tangible way for us to live out the gospel call to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Holy Grounds provides free Wi-Fi, assistance with community resources, showers and basic needs related to winter gear, toiletries, and some clothing. Current needs include donations towards providing daily meals, mens/womens underwear, sleeping bags, tents/tarps, rain gear and socks. There will be a box available to drop off these items in the Narthex or you may add a monetary donation in the offering specified for Holy Grounds. If you are interested in getting involved with Holy Grounds, please contact Rev. Erica @ 507-225-6370.
