Annual Food Drive
Every year our church family & community join together in an effort to stock the pantry of our food bank.  This Autumn initiative is perfectly timed for the holiday season.  Contact our church office to learn more.

Motorcycle Rides
We plan several motorcycle rides per year with bike riders’ donations benefiting various non-profit organizations.  A typical ride is to Cook Forest with lunch at the Farmers’ Inn.  Non-profits who have been the recipients of past donations are CUMC Food Bank, Robin’s Home, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  Also, winter coats are collected and distributed to agencies in need.  To learn more, contact Rich James @ 724-816-3974.
 
Operation Christmas Child
OCC is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Its mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. These shoe boxes are shipped outside the U.S. to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, & disease.  Cabot UMC partners in this initiative by collecting shoe box items throughout the year.  To learn more, contact our fellowship coordinator, Paula Scott @ fellowship@cabotumc.com .
 
Pastoral Care
This ministry coordinates meals for members of our church family who have recently been released from the hospital or ill.  These meals are made and delivered by those wishing to volunteer their supplies and time.  Also, the Pastoral Care Ministry manages our donated medical equipment for those in need of temporary, basic equipment to assist in their mobility and daily living skills.  To learn more, contact Elaine Hinderliter @ 724-352-1936. 
 
Summer Camp for Kids
Summer camp is fun!  A Christian summer camp is even better! So that kids can have fun AND come to know Jesus, we help offset the cost by providing scholarships to any of our camps at Allegheny, Jumonville, or Wesley Woods.  To learn more, contact our camping coordinators, Elaine Hinderliter @ 724-352-1936 or Jen McGee in person.

Transportation
Our Transportation Ministry provides rides to Sunday worship and special events for our Concordia residents.  A team of drivers shares in the rotation of driving our bus.  To learn more, contact Rich James @ 724-816-3974.
