|
Mobile Meals Ministry

If you are interested in serving in this ministry in any capacity, we could use your help!! If you are interested in this ministry, please contact stewardship@ihmchurch.org |
Open Door Shelter Hot Meal Program
volunteers prepare, donate and serve 10 hot meals on the second Tuesday of the month from Sept. to May. They can continue in the summer with bag dinners if they choose. The ministry is looking for a new coordinator. The biggest time commitment involves presence at the stewardship fair, adjusting the existing teams, finalizing the schedule for the year, and notifying everyone of their team and schedule. The time commitment is really quite small, consisting of about 4 days of 1-2 hours per day. The coordinator also acts as one of the team captains. Reminders are also sent to volunteers on a monthly basis. The current coordinator will work with the new volunteer and plans to stay on until the end of the year. Contact Kathleen at stewardship@ihmchurch.org. |

Giving Tree 2020
Thanks to you, the Giving Tree was able to assist several local agencies again this year. You also made Christmas enjoyable for our own IHM families. Without You, this would not have been possible. A huge THANK YOU to all who generously donated 309 gift cards in the amount of $8,315. We were also able to give out 17 new jackets which were donated by a parishioner. As always, your kindness and support of this ministry is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rose, Julie, and Jennifer |

MVFO Veterans Day Service at IHM
Today in commemoration of Veterans Day, IHM MVFO held a small service to acknowledge our veterans. Names of IHM Columbarium veterans were read aloud as well as names of other veterans related to, or associated with members of IHM. In addition, a beautiful letter written by Betty Neely was read in tribute to her deceased brothers who both lost their lives in the service of their country. God Bless all of our veterans, living and deceased. |
IHM’s Military, Veterans, & Families Outreach is excited to share this slide presentation highlighting our stewardship ministry.
Realizing our country's Freedoms are guarded by the men and women who have and continue to serve in our armed forces ... with their families beside them ... we want them to experience that we are there for them, that they are not alone. Even with the restrictions imposed by Covid-19, we are still finding ways to be of assistance. If you would like to become engaged ... or would like to request support ... please reach out to us.
