Missions

Horseshoe Bend United Methodist Church has always been extremely mission oriented -- from local to global.

The following are just a few of the mission programs we hold close to our hearts:

Each year, we collect school supplies for our local elementry school. It is our goal to see that every child starts off the year with the all the supplies needed.
The 4th Sunday of each month is designated as Food Sunday. We collect canned and packaged food items for our local food pantry.
Ingathering is a very important mission for us. It is amazing how many flood buckets, a small church such as ours can fill.
Each Thanksgiving we host a Thanksgiving Dinner that is open to the entire community.

This year we collected tee-shirts and towels for a local Peace Corp Volunteer. These items were much needed in her mission in Africa.
We having a clothing drive in the spring and again in the fall. All items are donated to Norfork Community Care Program.
At Christmas we work with other local churches to provide food baskets for the area needy.
Annually, we financially support:
