Annual Missions Trip
Since 2006, this multi-church team coordinated by LHUMC has traveled to other states to rebuild homes [and hope] for/with families in need; generally after disasters like Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast and, more recently, Hurricane Sandy which damaged 253,000 homes in New Jersey.
As the hands and feet of Christ, team members minister to families as their most important task while working on homes. Over the years Baptists, Catholics, Independents, Lutherans, United Methodists and others have joined together to serve quickly realizing they were one in Christ, that they received more than they gave and that their personal Christian journey found greater focus. Each evening, the team re-energizes through sharing, prayer, message and music to prepare for the next day’s mission.

Casserole Ministry
“Never worry about the numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.” These are words by Mother Teresa.
Over 30 families have been involved in preparing casseroles for a ministry sponsored Bmore Caring (a non-profit group based in Glen Burnie. These people serve meals to homeless in Glen Burnie, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn and Baltimore City. Our church has 3 teams with 10-12 in each team. Rotating so that once every three months, the volunteer bakes the casseroles and delivers them to church, where they are then taken to a packing center. Along with buttered bread and cookies, provided by us, the food is packed into containers then taken to about 8 locations and distributed to those in need. Bottled water is also donated by our volunteers. We participate in this outreach ministry on the 2nd Friday of every month; however, the overall program distributes meals 3 times every week to anywhere from 80 to 120 people. If you would like to participate in this ministry contact Cindy Butz
