News from The Goodrich Area Pantry (GAP):
The GAP was offered an opportunity to move to Goodrich High School and has moved. This move will benefit more families within the school system with supplies readily available and becoming part of the marketing class.
GUMC will still continue to have the donation box. Thank you for your continued support.
Book Study is starting:
On Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:00 p.m., we will take a deeper look at forgiveness by studying “Forgiving What you Can’t Forget” by Lysa Terkeurst. Please notify the office if you would like a book and study guide.
No need to register. Just bring yourself and a warm heart.
Thank you, GUMC Community!
After finally completing my Eagle Scout project, I wanted to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who provided a donation for my project. In only a few months, our community donated well over $4,000 to help homeless families in Genesee County. While I received numerous donations and blessings from so many kind people from all over, the love and generosity of Goodrich United Methodist Church was especially overwhelming.
Our church has an important role in the effort to help local families without homes. The church building houses homeless families through Family Promise, an organization I had the privilege of working with, as my 100 canvas drawstring bags were donated there for distribution to families in need. These bags have essentials, such as dental, personal, and feminine hygiene products, as well as socks and blankets, and nonessentials, such as stuffed animals, decks of cards, and school supplies.
Throughout my project, I lived by the notion that if we treat the sick child as our own, the parent who cannot put dinner on the table as our friend, and the young girl grappling with homelessness as our sister, we will show the struggling individuals and families in our community that we care. Our church did that. And for that, I am forever grateful, and so are those in need of a little hope.
Sincerely,
Jadon Urogdy
