The Parish Committee achieves several primary goals through several key areas:
- Member Care is available through social activities, greeting services and Sunday coffee
hour.
- Community Outreach is provided through periodic Food Pantry collections and support of
the Metro Advocacy Ministries.
- Mission Work is achieved through activities like the UMCOR walk raising funds for the
world wide mission of the United Methodist Church.
- Worship for our congregation and visitors is enhanced by the committee's evaluation of
worship experiences and subsequent recommendations of changes to our worship program.
- Christianity in Community builds awareness of issues facing our community and how IUMC
interacts and influences out neighborhood.
The
Parish Committee meets the 4th Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm
at the church. Events are scheduled throughout the year. Members
are nominated annually; however, new members may join at any time.

We help the people of our church and community by having a clean place to shop and have
very low prices on all our merchandise.
The Turnover Shop has clothes for every member of
the family, toys, furniture and general household items for bargain prices.
We staff our shop with friendly and helpful volunteers who work at least one day each
month. Our primary goal is to help those in need. The money we earn goes to help the IUMC
missionary work.

|
Income from sales supports:
- Many mission projects in the community and city.
- South Indiana District mission projects.
- IUMC projects, equipment, building needs,
youth activities, etc. which are not included in the church
budget.
If you
have articles to donate to the Turnover Shop, we are always
looking for gently used, second hand items. We invite you
as church members and guests to come see the Turnover Shop!
If you'd
like more information or would like to volunteer, please
email us or contact
the church office at (317) 356-7231 and leave a message
for Sue Hudelson.

Volunteers Needed!
We need two volunteers and manager every day. Here are several
ways on how you can help:
- Work just one day a month.
- Be a substitute when scheduled volunteers
cannot work.
Turnover volunteers find the work enjoyable and rewarding! |
