November Food Drive
New Journey Community Outreach's food pantry is in immediate need of nonperishable food items to give away to less fortunate families. Throughout the entire month of November, please drop off any canned goods and boxed foods to the sanctuary Welcome Center or Church office and we'll transport them to NJCO immediately. Thank you!
"Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." - Jesus
Mark 12:31
In our own backyard and around the world, West Lawn UMC is committed to loving our neighbors through mission work. We believe that every person in our congregation can serve as the hands and feet of Jesus in some way -from prayer to financial support, to volunteering locally in our communities or to going where God leads us globally. That’s why we offer many, life-changing mission opportunities for our people and the communities that we serve.
Here in the Reading area, West Lawn UMC helps feed the hungry and shelter the homeless through a variety of ministries. Our maternity and kids’ consignment sale helps clothe and support local mothers and children.
Beyond Berks county, we send teams, multiple times a year, on domestic and international trips to repair and build homes. We’ve also packaged thousands of meals for our hungry brothers and sisters around the world, and prepared disaster supply kits for those in need.
In addition to our regular tithes and offerings, we’ve given away more than half-a-million-dollars since 2012 through a special Christmas Miracle Offering.
From our youngest believers to our more seasoned servants, we’re a congregation on a mission. Join us!
