Saraland UMC ministers to the Saraland community not only as a
place of worship, but through many local organizations as well.
We sponsor Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops and make our facility available to community groups, such as the Lion’s Club and the YMCA, as often as possible. Below are some of the ways you can get involved to help serve the Saraland and Greater Mobile Community.

There is a coffee and snack table set up each Sunday morning in the rear foyer for our church family and guests. Volunteers are needed to help set-up, clean-up and provide light snacks each week. Juice, coffee supplies and paper goods will be provided by the church. Volunteers need to:
• provide a few store bought or home made “goodies” (donuts, cupcakes, cookies, etc.);

More volunteers are needed. Please sign-up in the Fellowship Hall if you are willing to volunteer or call the office.

Special
Giving
Suggestions |
Many people like to designate their special giving (giving above their regular tithe). If you would like to designate a donation to a special area of the church, here are some areas in need of funds:
- Celebrate Recovery - Our church offers Celebrate Recovery for those in our community who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction as well as other hurts, habits, and hang-ups. Money for meals, bibles, and materials are needed. You may also sign-up to provide a meal. Contact the church office for details on how you can help.
- Capital Improvement Fund - This fund is used for major maintenance items in the church.
- Youth Activities - This would be used for special Youth events and equipment.
- Children’s Activities - This fund will be used for special Children's events, playground equipment, furniture and audio/visual equipment for our children’s area.
- Piano Fund - This will replace the piano in the Sanctuary.
