We remain pleased with the potential and growth of this event.īecause friendships are strong within the congregation, we are like a family in many ways. In 2016, we counted more community folks at the event than Millport folks. We have also hosted an annual “Picnic in the Park” every year since 2011. In many ways, this has become “church” to several of our friends from the Rothsville community. We meet to have a meal, play games, do crafts, talk about relevant life issues. When the lunch program ended, we began a weekly ministry in the basement of the Lutheran church in Rothsville.
MILLPORT MENNONITE CHURCH FREE
As our church participated in the free lunch program every Tuesday and Thursday, we were able to get to know some of the children and families from the community. Since children have less access to good meals over the summer when school is not in session, this sounded like a great opportunity. They were planning to start something in the evenings, but an opportunity opened up to work with other area churches to provide lunches for the community over the summer. We are glad for the various contacts this ministry has allowed us to begin in the community.Īnother part of our outreach group started looking into ways to reach out to families. Out of the relationships formed, a new ministry called LifePath has begun, which has a similar focus as Lifetree. Due to staffing reasons, the Café stopped meeting April 26. They met with the owner of the White Swan Restaurant, who agreed to allow the use of one section of the restaurant that was typically closed on Wednesday nights. The team purposefully decided to begin the Café outside the church building. Lifetree Café is an hour-long conversational café with topics and stories that participants interact with as they sit around tables. So the team investigated the Lifetree Café materials and eventually decided to start a Lifetree Café in Rothsville. As they talked and prayed together, they realized that while our goal was to introduce people to Jesus, the congregation needed to begin building relationships with those outside the church. In 2015 a planning team formed, who had interest in pursuing ways to reach into our community. We frequently hear from others that we are friendly and welcoming. Many people in the congregation are involved in one-on-one ministry with coworkers, neighbors, and other community relationships. At Millport, the congregation takes the missional calling very seriously. While God works through a corporate congregation in various ways, he also works through individual relationships.
