NEW Feeding Ministry
- Feeding Ministry.
- We are serving lunch every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday between now and Christmas. And we need you!!! We have 48 spots open and we believe by working together, we can have an impact and make sure people have a warm meal as they continue to define their new normal. Especially while we wait for grocery stores and restaurants to come back online, these meals are a critical way to help out.
Whether you're a seasoned cook or have a heart to serve, we have flexible ways for you to help.
We understand that everyone’s capacity to serve is different. Maybe you’re excited to help but can’t prepare a meal for 125, or perhaps you’d love to cook but can’t make the trip up the mountain. That’s okay! We can accommodate you and find the perfect role and date that fits your schedule. - Here are the ways you can contribute:
- Prepare a meal (or help facilitate the preparation) for 125 people.
The meal should be ready to travel to either Newland UMC or Pine Grove UMC in Spruce Pine and arrive by 11:30 AM. Don’t worry if you need assistance keeping it warm—we can provide hot boxes to ensure everything stays fresh. - Deliver and serve the meal.
If you’d rather serve than cook, we need volunteers to pick up the prepared meal and deliver it to Newland or Pine Grove, then help serve from 12 noon to 3 PM. You’ll pick up the meal at an agreed location, and we’ll make sure you have everything you need for a smooth delivery. - Do both!
If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love for your church to both prepare the meal and deliver it to serve at Newland or Pine Grove. Your commitment means everything to us, and it’s an incredible way to give back to those in need.
- Prepare a meal (or help facilitate the preparation) for 125 people.

Weekly Update 10/23/24
- Collection Opportunities- Because of everyone’s generosity from within and beyond North Carolina, we are calling for a weeklong Donation Sabbath because ALL of our distribution centers are beyond full of supplies to give away. Some of our distribution centers are moving away from giving out commodities and focusing just on Flood Buckets. We will do the same. The Appalachian District is no longer receiving water, food, diapers, etc at this time.
New Volunteering Opportunities
We have 5 churches and 1 parsonage with significant flood damage. The churches will not be UMCOR projects because they focus on homes. As the churches dry out and are ready, we will need helping hands to work with a contractor to repair the flooring and walls, etc. The district needs to know if we have teams or individuals who would like to assist with this work. There are certainly teams outside of our District who want to help so if you are tired, we have others who have been standing by wanting to help. Right now, please discern your interest, ability, and availability. We will find a way to capture this info so as our churches finish drying out and are ready, we can get some helping hands to work alongside those church members who have been caring for their beloved churches in the midst of this chaos.
Worship and So Much More
Want to watch online or even get caught up on this past weeks service. Check out our online library of worship, Refuel devotions and addition digital media. More and more are added weekly.
The weekly bulletin is published on Friday
Friday Worship
Song
"Here Again" by Elevation Worship is a heartfelt worship song that explores themes of dependence on God, surrender, and divine presence. The lyrics convey a deep sense of vulnerability, recognizing that human effort alone is not enough. The song expresses a longing for God to meet the worshiper in their present circumstances, regardless of past mistakes or uncertainties about the future. It reflects on walking through difficult times ("the valley") while trusting that God is present and faithful.
We are partnering with RightNow Media to bring over 25,000 Biblical Studies and teaching from well know authors to you and your small group. You can use them for personal devotion, couple studies, or group studies, at church or in your homes. We will be offering this to you at no cost to you. We just want to get this tool into your hands so that God can use them to build and strengthen your spiritual walk with Him.
