CHAMP/CHAMPION Readers - Susan Slaughter, Coordinator
MPUMC's youth-led tutoring program travels to the South Tryon Community on Monday/Thursday nights. Ways you can serve:

Trinity's Table - Amy Chiott, Coordinator
Trinity's Table, formerly known as a "soup kitchen" but changed to "community fellowship lunch", serves free lunch to 60-80 individuals in South Tryon Community Church on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 am -12:30 pm.  A time for sharing and discussing one's recovery is also available for the guests.  Currently, volunteers are needed to:

·         Set up dining room and serving area, serve, eat and fellowship, and clean up

·         We also need a volunteer coordinator and church liaison and an individual to work with local stores to receive day-old items and deliver them to the community kitchen

CHAMPIONS for Children

MPUMC adults and/or families form a mentoring relationship with a child from the South Tryon Community for one year.

·         Adults and families are needed to partner with the South Tryon children. 

·         The commitment is one of time, not financial resources.  We ask that the partners visit with their children at least once a month and contact them weekly.  The relationship helps develop both partners' understanding of our community.
