Living Faith Missions
Our Missions Ministry's Mission "Equipping others to be the hands and feet of Christ by using their gifts, time, talents and resources to reach out and serve others within our church family, in our local community, in our state, in our nation, and in our world."
Mission Vision Living Faith will become a church filled with mission-oriented disciples who comfortably share Christ's love with others and help bring them to the knowledge and saving grace of Jesus Christ through connection and service with people in our community, state, nation and world.
What Needs to Be Done? Jesus calls us to serve others and be His hands and feet in the world. There are many opportunities to serve the Lord. It might be preparing a meal for a neighbor or someone recovering from surgery; visiting a homebound member; helping church members; cleaning the church; doing yard work or light maintenance; driving someone to appointments and errands; volunteering at Together, Inc., Lydia House, Open Door Mission or another organization to serve those in our community; going on a mission trip; and many other opportunities.
Contact Living Faith's mission team for more ideas about ways that you can serve, or look at the mission projects pages to learn about additional opportunities. Living Hope United Methodist Church Food Pantry  Living Faith joined Living Hope United Methodist Church in 2011 in bringing hope to those who want to see a difference in their community. We have established a monthly food/medicine/hygiene drive for their food pantry. Donations for Living HopePlease bring your donations to church by the last Sunday of each month. Cash donations and checks may also be given to purchase items for the food pantry. Volunteers are also needed to deliver donations to Living Hope's food pantry.

  Two garden plots serve as our community garden. Produce will be shared with the Living Hope United Methodist Church food pantry and our church family. If you'd like an opportunity to serve the Lord, love gardening, and/or want to learn how to garden, we have an opportunity for you! Volunteers are needed this summer to help water the garden plot, weed, pick vegetables, deliver vegetables to Living Hope's food pantry, and set out extra vegetables for our church family to pick up at church. Please contact Hugo Flores or Janet Seelhoff for more information.
Habitat for Humanity   Living Faith is involved with Habitat for Humanity through the Ecumenical Labor Force (ELF). For the past three years, the group has helped with remodeling homes. Homeowners are required to spend 400-500 hours working on building or remodeling their home. Volunteers are needed to help build or remodel a Habitat home in the Omaha community during a weekend in the late spring or early summer. Food and monetary donations are also needed. For more information, please contact John Wormley. Prayer Shawl Ministry   Anyone who knits or crochets, or would like to learn, is invited to participate in the Prayer Shawl Ministry. Prayer shawls are created with loving hands and warm hearts. They are available to give to family, friends, neighbors, co-workers or others you know who are in need of prayer or encouragement; individuals experiencing the loss of a loved one; new mothers; people who are ill or recovering from illness; or individuals who are going through medical procedures. Before placing the prayer shawls in the prayer room, members of the congregation lay hands on the prayer shawls and pray over them. For more information about this ministry, please contact Ruth Wormley or Marilyn Brown. Partnership with Local School The missions team is exploring opportunities for Living Faith members and friends to support one or more area schools. We'd love to connect and learn how we can support families who need special assistance. If you are aware of an opportunity, please contact any member of the missions team: Lynn Hizer, Jacque Geist, Hugo Flores, Judy Flores, Terry Untersher, John Wormley, Ruth Wormley and Janet Seelhoff.
Outreach to Our Neighborhood The missions team will be planning a hot dog roast and outdoor event around Living Faith's fire pit. Church family, friends and Living Faith's neighbors will be invited for fun and fellowship. Stay tuned for details.
