WELCOME TO THE HAMMER MEMORIAL UMC MISSIONS PAGE
THE MISSION OF HAMMER MEMORIAL IS TO “EVANGELIZE our community, DISCIPLE our church family AND CARE for the concerns of others.” IF WE ARE NOT ABOUT THIS MISSION, WHAT ARE WE AS A CHURCH? IT IS OUR SINCERE HOPE TO SHOW OTHERS OUR CARE AND CONCERN, AND BE THE LIGHT THAT JESUS WANTS US TO BE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
LOCAL
EASTER CANTATA– Each year on Palm Sunday evening, the Alliance sponsors the Easter Cantata, a community choir that presents the story of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, in song, the spoken word, and interpretive selections, all designed to move us to share our faith in Christ with others. See more information about the cantata on the Music Ministries page of our website.
The Cantata is an all-volunteer choir, and we are always looking for new talent to join us!
HOLY WEEK SERVICES– The week before Easter is called Holy Week and all the churches are participants in the special services each morning. Each takes a turn to host the 6:30 AM lay service, with breakfast following. Those who attend come back year after year because this morning fellowship means so much, and most will profess that Easter would not be the same without these early worship experiences. There are also evening Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services at several area churches. Don’t miss this!
The early morning services are led by lay persons- if the Lord is leading you to be part of this wonderful ministry, please make it known to someone in your congregation!
OTHER LOCAL PROJECTS
At Hammer Memorial, people believe that reaching out to those who need help in our community is one of the most important things we can do as a church. We have missions we support as a church, but smaller groups within the church also support many different missions. Some of our community projects are The Christmas Store, The King City Food Pantry, Community Vacation Bible School, hosting meals quarterly for the retired King City School staff monthly meetings and helping families in need because of fire, illness, financial, etc.
