Outreach & Missions
Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these…you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40
Pearl River Methodist Church offers a variety of outreach and mission opportunities regularly which, enable us to respond to the needs of our community and the world through acts of service and love. Below are a few highlights of our outreach ministries.
Food Drives Our Ladies Ministry Team, which meets on the third Thursday of every month, sponsors several food drives a year, to help stock the shelves at Second Harvest Food Bank right here in Pearl River. We assist with the Food Ministry sponsored by Community Christian Concern on designated Saturday morning at 9:00 A.M. in the parking lot of the old Precious Pearls. We also provide Thanksgiving Food Baskets to families in need in our community every November.
Men’s Group Our Men’s Group is a service-minded team, who assist in minor repairs, yard work, and other special projects in our congregational family and in the community.
Christmas Mission Offering It has become our tradition to give away our entire offering on Christmas Eve to missions. We challenge each family to give an equal value of what they spend on Christmas gifts towards our Christmas Mission Offering. Together our offerings make a difference in the lives of children, youth, and adults both locally and globally. In 2017, we raised $10,000 for our Christmas Mission Offering, which was given away to the Louisiana United Methodist Children’s Home, Community Christian Concern, the hurricane disaster in Puerto Rico and our local church and community missions.

Join our Pastor Kathy in the Grace Center Thursday mornings at 9:30 A.M. for a time of devotion, coffee, fellowship and conversation. You will have the opportunity to meet some of our congregants and talk with Pastor Kathy about your interests and life. Bring your friends and neighbors.
