Becoming a Debt-Free Church: Each Gift Spreads the Light.
We dream of becoming a debt-free church in order to transition from paying interest on the loan to growing ministries. Becoming debt-free is an act of good stewardship that will grow our reserves for future building improvements and enable budget flexibility, further extending the Light of Christ throughout our community and God’s world.

October Mission of the Month
Volunteer Response Team (VRT)
The generosity of the SCCUMC Mission of the Month makes possible the provision of caring, Christian volunteers who help with community projects, His Helpers, church maintenance, disaster response (DRT), and recycling. In the past year, the VRT has performed church maintenance activities including trimming trees and bushes; landscaping and gardening; interior and exterior painting; installation and painting of parking signs and concrete parking blocks; power washing exterior areas, including patios, walls, sidewalks, and chairs; cleaning up chalk murals; repairing tables; building storage and recycling areas; and setup and cleanup for numerous church events. This has included helping with Vacation Bible School, Anchor House, and Residing Hope. Many of these VRT activities have saved SCCUMC money because outside vendors did not have to be hired.
The VRT’s His Helpers assists those in the community who need help with typical household maintenance and small repairs while providing a caring, Christian presence. We have repaired front entryway decks, changed lightbulbs and A/C filters, hung pictures, changed smoke detector batteries, moved boxes, and helped with other small household needs.
The VRT performs disaster response during the stressful times of recovering from various disasters. During the last two hurricanes, the VRT helped muck out and repair the Methodist Church in Ruskin. The VRT removed damaged materials, reframed rooms, and completed drywall and painting.
VRT’s recycling efforts help prevent thousands of pounds of metal, cans, and appliances from ending up in landfills.
Your support helps the VRT serve our community, region, and state wherever assistance is needed. The (VRT) is always looking for people with many different skills to join our team. Currently we are looking for volunteers for church cleanup and power washing on October 9, 10, and 12 at 8:30 a.m. each day. You do not have to be a member of the VRT to volunteer for this.
If you are interested in becoming an active member of our VRT, please consider attending our monthly meeting or registering for our VRT email database at http://eepurl.com/gew3MD. Our next meeting will be October 21, 2026, in Room 19 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Meeting times are the third Wednesday of each month.
