April Missions of the Month
Breakaway Respite Ministry
Respite: Noun, a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant.
Breakaway Respite Ministry has been an integral part of our church since September 2019. We gather on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 AM to 2 PM in Creason Hall. Care Partners of individuals living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia bring their loved ones to us allowing them to take a break from their often demanding responsibilities. For many, the eight hours of care we provide each week is their only respite.
Our tuition remains at $40.00 per day, which covers all supplies for our activities, as well as lunch and dessert. Currently, we have 17 friends enrolled and a waiting list of 24 individuals. Thanks to generous donations from you, we have never had to turn anyone away due to an inability to pay the tuition. We are grateful for your thoughtful support!
Each session is filled with engaging activities designed to stimulate an entertain our friends, ensuring they have a joyful and fulfilling time while in our care. Our dedicated volunteers are passionate about creating a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
Your continued support and generosity are vital to our mission. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word about our ministry, every contribution makes a difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for being an essential part of our ministry and helping us provide a much-needed sanctuary for caregivers and their loved ones. Together, we make a meaningful impact.
We are a passionate congregation about reaching out in our local community as well as across the world with the love of Jesus Christ. We try to include an element of Missions in almost everything we do. We love traveling to places such as Africa, Peru, Cuba and many more as well as helping local missions such as the Fight Against Human Trafficking, Good Samaritan Mission, our UMC Children's Home and many more. Please consider getting involved in making a difference.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Mission of the Month at the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. As the Mission team, we are excited to learn more about your mission.
We receive many requests to become part of this program. We prayerfully read all applications with special consideration given to missions whose program is dedicated to making disciples of Jesus Christ and show a proven history of successful ministry. All missions accepted as Mission of the Month must support the mission and vision of the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. Because we currently have many applications, not every mission that applies will be accepted this year.
We will closely study the goals of your mission, the actual percentage of your proposed budget that directly supports the slated mission, and your plans for documentation and ongoing evaluation and accountability. Should we support your mission, we will ask for a follow up at the end of the year, stating how the funds that you received were used.
Please complete the enclosed application and return it to:
