Mission and Outreach Projects

starts in your heart pic

Sparta Center

Our projects are diverse ranging from local to worldwide.  Local projects include the Food Pantry, Habitat for Humanity and Focus on the Children.  We currently support an inmate at the Collins Correctional Facility who is a member of our church.  Within a broader circle, we support the Red Bird Mission in Kentucky.  Globally we contribute to Operation Christmas Child, United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), Heifer International and St. Gonzaga Academy School in Khayega, Kenya under the auspices of the Cattaraugus African Outreach Mission.  For additional information about Sparta Center Mission and Outreach projects, contact Randy Kiehle at rkiehle@stny.rr.com.

 

Dansville

 

The Dansville United Methodist Church Mission and Outreach committee is currently collecting items for our soldiers.  Items must be new and unopened.   A box has been placed in the vestibule for your convenience.  If you have any questions, please contact Jean Glover at 525-335-5354.
