State of the Church Taking St. Luke’s to the Next Level
Outreach Focus of the Month Vida Nueva UMC 2801 W. Washington St.
Vida Nueva Ministries is a thriving congregation on the West side of Indianapolis ministering to immigrant families in the surrounding Hispanic community. Vida Nueva Ministries believes first-generation Hispanic immigrant families should know and experience the love and hope of Christ. In the past, St. Luke’s has partnered with Vida Nueva on Servant Day and helping with their food pantry. One of Vida Nueva’s thriving programs is called Discover Indianapolis, a summer program for children.Discover Indianapolis helps first-generation
immigrants explore areas of Indianapolis like the Tea Room at the Indiana Museum, take trips to the IMA or use paddle boats on the Canal. Vida Nueva UMC, led by Rev. David Penalva, reaches out in ministry as well. Members serve at E. 10th St. United Methodist Church on Saturday evenings offering programs to the Hispanic community on the east side. Their mission is to minister to E.10th St. UMC families and build relationships. Please help continue this ministry by either donating toward the $12,000 monthly budget or by making yourself available to serve alongside this community teaching GED classes, ENL classes or by working at the thrift and food pantry. Stop by the Outreach Post in the West Passage for information or email outreach@ stlukesumc.com or place a check in the offering with “Vida Nueva” in the memo. Thank you for helping support one of the Indiana Conference’s important ministries.
