Outreach
Beloved Outreach
Beloved United Methodist Church is committed to sharing God’s love outside our own membership. To do this, Beloved participates in many outreach programs, meant to have a positive impact on the larger community. We see our community as not just Marysville, or Union County here in Ohio, but also reaching out to Ohio, the United States, and the world. As a new church, we have begun our outreach to these communities, and we look forward to programs and projects that we have yet to imagine.
Upcoming Beloved Service Opportunities
*Maryville Food Pantry: On Sunday Nov 16th we will be doing a one day food drive for our local food pantry. Listed below are the items they are looking for. On that Sunday you will bring the items to church with you and after we tear down the gym whoever is interested will go with us to the Food Pantry (333 Ash St). The director will meet us there, accept our donations and show us around and we can learn more about their mission there.

*Cards from Christ: The whole month of November we will be collecting cards for this mission to give every incarcerated inmate in Ohio a Christmas card. Over 70,000 cards are needed. We will have cards for you to take at the hospitality table or you may buy your own.
Do: Use store bought cards only with a handwritten note or scripture. (First name only in signature). Use only ink or markers.
Pray over the cards.
Do Not: Use envelopes, cards with trifolds, pockets, glitter, pop-ups, etc. (very simple). And no personal information included in the cards.

Volunteer Mission Opportunities
United Methodists have believed, from the beginning, that each of us is called to participate in the outreaching ministry of Jesus Christ. John Wesley called the early Methodists to live out their faith by “doing good of every possible sort, and, as far as possible, to all [people]”To see Volunteer Opportunities click below
