:: Missions ::

Members of Hemel Hempstead Methodist Church support Methodist Home Missions and keep collection boxes in their homes. Funds from these boxes are collected together and sent off once a year in August.

We also raise money for DENS (Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter) which provides a Night Shelter in Hemel Hempstead for homeless people and a Day Centre at Bury Lodge, Queensway, Hemel Hempstead where homeless people can go for food and hot drinks shelter and support during the day. HHMC also provides a secure storage area for non-perishable food and other goods which have been donated to DENS.

We support Nascent House in Apsley which helps those who are having problems with drink and drugs, and we raise cash and supply boxes of food when the clients move into new accommodation.

Charities which HHMC supports are many and include

• International appeals including Christian Aid, Karibuni (supporting street children in Kenya), IIMC (supporting mothers and children in India) individuals working for Wycliffe Bible Translators and Emergency Appeals.
• National appeals including Action for Children (formerly National Children’s Home), Macmillan Nurses, Crisis at Christmas, R.N.L.I., Childline, Methodist Homes.
• Local appeals including Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter and Nascent House.

• There is a notice board in the Church for information regarding Missions activities.
