An Update from Right Here Ministries (June 2020)

During this difficult time we are living in, Not Here has not been able to travel to Charlotte to serve as we have been doing since the beginning. For now, we have made the transtion to "Right Here." We began serving the Huntersville community right here at Huntersville UMC on Wednesday, June 24.

On June 24, Not Here Ministry made its transition to Right Here Ministry. Approximately 150 people were served a hot, delicious meal through our drive-thru meal service. They were greeted with warmth and hospitality with this message included on a card:

Thank you for visiting HUMC’s Drive-thru Community Dinner event. We hope you enjoy your meal.We hope to see you at future events.

Visit our website for information on what’s happeningat HUMC.

We anticipate that this will be an on-going event that connects HUMC to the community and fosters lasting relationships with Jesus Christ. Please see the video below to see pictures that show what kind of welcoming atmosphere was provided.

We want to thank all who contributed to making HUMC’s first Community Drive-thru Dinner a success. From the desserts provided by our United Methodist Women, to the donations of water, to the WONDERFUL chefs & servers, to Brilliant Brian greeting guests at the entrance, it was a beautiful evening.

A response from one of our guests:

I was fortunate to have been able to get two of the meals you handed out this past Wednesday. They were delicious! I am a member of Asbury UMC. I want to thank your Church for your kindness to those of us who are less fortunate. May the Blessings of God, be with you, all of you, evermore...James T.

Not Here Ministry is not a lined item on the church budget. Yet, thanks to the generosity of time and money from several individuals, the mission continues to thrive.
