Meals
Bread, Broth, Brownies, & Bingo Luncheon
The United Women of Faith host a monthly luncheon at MUMC on the second Wednesday at 12 PM. The menu includes Fall Harvest soup, crusty Italian bread, Autumn Orchard salad, and Ghirardelli chocolate brownies. You are invited to a presentation by Rose Darling, Church & Community Engagement Coordinator for Flat Rock Homes, Care Center, and Community Services. Rose will update us on the many ways Flat Rock’s ministries to individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities makes an impact. We hope you will join us on Wednesday, November 12th at noon in the MUMC Gallery! Please RSVP to uwf@mentorumc.org, register online here, or find the signup sheet in the Info Hub.
Open Table: No Reservation Required
This monthly event is open to all and FREE! Join us in the Gallery at MUMC for food, fellowship, and fun from 5:30 to 7 PM every second Thursday of the month. We’ll eat from 5:30 PM to 6 PM then enjoy different programming (fun) each month. On November 13th, enjoy Pizza, salad, and Charlie Brown Thanksgiving dinner on the tables (buttered toast, popcorn, pretzel sticks, and jelly beans). We will also watch the Charlie Brown special together and participate in a fun centerpiece craft. Even though we require no reservation, give us a heads up to how many people to expect by RSVPing online here.
Thanksgiving Day Dinner
ALL are invited to join us at Mentor UMC on Thursday, November 27th from 11 AM to 1:30 PM for the 35th Annual Thanksgiving Day Community Meal. This is a free dinner that you can eat here at the church OR have delivered (Lake County). Contact the church office (440.255.3496) to request delivery. No RSVP necessary for in-person dining.
More Than a Meal
More Than a Meal happens every last Saturday of the month. Our mission is to give a sense of connection as well as a free meal (plus dessert). Many of those who need food are also in need of seeing a smile and hearing a kind word. Join us in the Gallery at MUMC at 5:30 PM (door open at 5) on Saturday, November 29th.
Food Pantry
Upcoming Distribution
This fall, Mentor UMC has two pantry options. The Pantry at the church is by appointment ONLY and requires calling ahead for the November Distribution on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. This pantry typically serves Lake County families but severe need will be met if enough inventory. Come shop an array of non-perishable groceries and select toiletries for free. If you are sick, we will bring the food out to your car.
POP UP Food Pantry
Mentor UMC will be visiting neighborhoods in need in November by bringing the food to you! Dates and locations will be updated as soon as possible. This pop up will include non-perishable foods and $5-10 gift cards for fresh dairy & produce.
Support Food Ministry
You can support MUMC’s Food Ministry a number of ways. Volunteer to cook, serve, or clean up for a meal, designate your giving to “Food Ministry”, and/or drop off non-perishable items to the church.
