South County Community Food Pantry
Clinton UMC collects food on the second Sunday of every month and partners with a sister church, Faith UMC in Accokeek, MD, for weekly distribution of food and emergency food supplies to the hungry. Faith UMC has a well-organized Food Pantry. They distribute a week's supply of produce and meat every Friday to approximately 40 to 50 families. Every Sunday, members of Faith UMC prepare and distribute 120 lunch boxes for distribution to the homeless in the District.
Proposed New Social Creed:
The 2004 General Conference directed that the 1908 social creed be revised. The proposed new creed to be presented to the 2008 General Conference reflects more current use of language, and is more liturgical and poetic in its presentation than its predecessors.
Africa University Choir
Clinton UMC was blessed to have the Africa University Choir perform a concert at the church in 2006. The 0Africa University Choir is an established choral ensemble at Africa University. Currently, all the members of the choir are students of Africa University. The Choir is steeped in a musical tradition that dates back many years, and it forms a vital part of the musical activity within the University and the wider community. Africa University Choir is a mixed SATB choir - which means we sing in four parts.
