News & Upcoming Events

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING HOMELESS IN COSTA MESA

BACK-TO-SCHOOL DRIVE. In July, the Mission Committee will collect backpacks and school supplies for Costa Mesa-based Share Ourselves. Its Back-to-School backpack distribution and First in Family College Readiness program help ensure that every child—kindergarten through college—has the tools needed to focus on his or her education.

A NOTE OF THANKS. In March, the Missions Committee collected personal hygiene items for the homeless. These donations benefited LOTS (Life On The Street) and Lighthouse Church, two organizations that provide essential services and counseling for the homeless in Costa Mesa. Thanks to the congregation for your generous donations!

RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE – June 16 from 12 pm-6pm

The Missions Committee will be hosting our monthly Red Cross Blood Drive in the Fellowship Hall. Sign up online at redcrossblood.org. A donation time will be provided.

THANK YOU—The May blood drive was a great success. We had 30 donors and collected 29 pints of blood; the highest number of units collected at a MVUMC blood drive since May 2022. What an outstanding milestone. Even more inspiring, those 29 pints will save up to 87 lives in our local hospitals—a truly life-changing impact!

Thank you for your continued support. MVUMC has donated more than 500 gallons.

JULY MISSION BUCKS will be designated for Connectional Giving/Apportionments. These funds support the United Methodist Church’s broader ministry and mission both locally and worldwide
