Mantua UMC Joins CROP Hunger Walk!
In what has become an annual tradition in the thousands of communities that participate, an interfaith, multi-cultural collection of CROP walkers encourage friends, neighbors, colleagues, merchants and places of worship to donate dollars to support their participation in walks of up to 10 km. Participants from Mantua UMC ranged in age from babies in strollers to seniors.Sponsored by Church World Service, the first-ever CROP Walks took place in the late 1960s. Over the decades since, more than 5 million walkers have raised millions to fight hunger.Up to a quarter of the money donated to CROP Hunger Walk is returned to the community where it was raised to help local soup kitchens and food pantries.These walkers and the food pantries and soup kitchens they help support are a blessing. Together, they represent the caring hands of a community reaching out to help neighbors - and often strangers - who are in crisis or whose way is hard. | |||

First Annual Spring Music Celebration!
What a wonderful celebration! On Sunday, April 13th all the music ministries of our church – Cherub, Junior, and Senior Choirs; the Praise Band; the Joyful Noise Brigade; and the Instrumental Ensemble – combined for a phenomenal evening of praise in music! This special concert culminated our year-long celebration of the centennial of our sanctuary. The evening finished with all our music ministries combining for "I'll Fly Away" in a finale that had the entire congregation on their feet, singing, clapping and dancing along as we worshiped our Savior. | |||
