OUTREACH and MISSIONS
Part of ministering to our neighbors is through the Outreach Mission of the church. We welcome others to partner with us as Mohawk Church loves our neighbors in the name of Christ.
Select Saturdays at 6pm
During the summer months, local musicians come and perform in our shelter house. This is a free event; however, we have a tip jar out for our performers.
SUMMER 2023 SCHEDULE (so far)

DISASTER RESPONSE
As natural disasters and other disastrous events take place across the country and around the world, Mohawk UMC is quick to respond with contributions to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief). To help with disaster recovery, as the events occur, checks may be written to "Mohawk United Methodist Church". Please contact the church office or treasurer to learn the "Advance Directive" number to write on the memo line. 100% of your donation will go to the named project. Gifts may also be given online at www.umcor.org
MISSION TRIPS
Mohawk Church supports, with funds and prayers, our global Missionary:

Also, a mission team travels yearly (our 2020 trip had to be canceled) to the United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) Midwest Mission Distribution Center in Chatham, IL. At our last trip, in May of 2019, they assembled disaster response kits (such as cleaning buckets, health kits, school kits, etc.) and did a variety of other service projects. The next trip is anticipated to take place in 2022, after the COVID-19 pandemic threat is over.
