Where Does Your Light Shine?

Service Opportunities in 2021

Make your light shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Below you will find the many opportunities available to serve through West End United Methodist Church’s Mercy and Justice ministry.

Where is God calling you to be the loving light of Christ? Your ministry may be a place you have served for years or you may be stepping out in faith to serve in an area for the very first time. No matter what your gifts, available time, or passions, there’s a place for you to serve. If you would like help in discerning where you might be called to serve or to find out more about an organization, contact Rev. Stacey Harwell-Dye, Pastor of Mercy and Justice Ministries.

May God bless you as you find that place where God is calling you to be the loving light of Christ.
