MINISTRIES

Collecting items for Relief Supply Kits year round

Harris Hill's GO! Ministry is a HUB of the Eastbrook Mission Barn in Eastbrook, PA. The focus of the ministry is to collect, assemble and distribute UMCOR relief kits. The majority of the relief kits are ultimately delivered to UMCOR's supply headquarters at Sager Brown in Baldwin, Louisiana who distributes the kits domestically and world wide. A smaller emergency supply is also kept on site in the event of a local disaster. The immediate needs of this ministry are constantly changing-check out the Go! page to learn of the current needs of this ministry.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

The prayer shawl ministry is comprised of knitting and crocheting enthusiasts who create shawls that are not only filled with their blessings and prayers but also by those of the Harris Hill UMC congregation. The shawls are given to those battling any kind of obstacle or issue in their life, be it financial, emotional, grief-related, work-related, an illness, or any issue that places a great burden on our shoulders. It is meant to provide a source of comfort and hope with the knowledge that prayers were sent on the recipient’s behalf. For anyone looking to participate in the ministry you may do so by creating a shawl, donating funds for the purchase of yarn, donating yarn (medium weight 4), or praying over a shawl prior to it being given to a recipient. This ministry is meant to be uplifting to all those involved!
