Sedge Garden United Methodist Church

The Out Reach TEAM always puts God first with mission projects that impact the lives of people less fortunate in our community and around the world. Our missions in action will remind everyone that the Bible says in Ephesians 3:20 "With God's power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine."

2010 will have a monthly mission tree and a “Mission in Action” with the emphasis on the ACTION. Look each month for your chance to make a difference-there will be opportunities to fit your interest and time schedule.

Remember:

“Christ has no body on earth but yours;

No hands but yours; No feet but yours.

Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion

for the world shines,

Yours are the feet with which Christ uses to go about doing Good,

Yours are the hands with which Christ uses to Bless

All the people.”
