One Door Closes While Another Opens

On June 21, 2009, the congregation of Community United Methodist Church participated in two very meaningful worship services to bring to completion the life of this church. Together we recited a special liturgy and sang as we gathered together in the back of the church as the cross was carried out of the sanctuary.


Join us on Sunday, June 28, as we carry the cross back into the sanctuary and celebrate the birth of Joining Hands Community Mission in another very special worship service at 9:30 and 11:00 am.

Crisis Food Box Distribution

With grant funding from the United Way, and collaborating with Metropolitan Ministries, Joining Hands Community Mission will distribute 40 food boxes per week, with additional 30 boxes distributed from a northwest Pasco site. Each food box provides enough provisions to feed a family of four for three days. Volunteers will serve as “personal shoppers” with recipients during distribution hours of Monday through Thursday, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Free Lunches For Kids This Summer

From June 8 to August 21, Monday through Friday, free summer lunches are available to all kids age 18 and younger in the New Port Richey / Holiday area. Lunch will be served from 11:30 am until 12:30 pm. No registration is required.

During the school year, nutritious meals are available for children through the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. But those programs end when school ends for the summer. Children in our community do not need to go hungry this summer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program helps fill the hunger gap.

More volunteers are still needed for this vital service to the children of our community. Please contact Nancy at 947-3268 to sign up for days that are convenient for you.
