the 3rd Sunday of each month.
The next collection will be August 17, 2025

Asbury Community
Development Corporation
Since its inception in 2011, Asbury CDC has maintained its commitment to serving the needs of an underserved population in the City of Flint. In partnership with the Foodbank of Eastern Michigan, Asbury offers weekly food distribution to needy Flint residents. Since 2019, it has operated the South
Flint Soup Kitchen which serves meals daily. In partnership with the Flint Genesee Chamber of Commerce, it also offers summer youth employment in its farming operations.
Please mark your envelope when giving to this worthy organization.
MORE GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
RED BAG SUNDAY
Would you like to give the gift of food to help local neighbors? We collect food on the first Sunday of the month, often in available red reusable bags. Thus the name, Red Bag Sunday! All that is collected goes to the local food pantry, Project Blessing, for distribution.
Please click below for more activities.
Everyone is Welcome
First Time to Lexington United Methodist Church?
Church can be an intimidating place to visit for the first time— especially if you don’t know what to expect. We invite you to experience what the gospel means in mind, body & spirit at one of our Sunday worship services. You can engage with others as much as you want, or remain anonymous if you prefer. We hope that through visiting with us, you will experience the hope, love, and joy that comes from a community of people who love Jesus.
4th Sunday Fundays are Here!
All ages gather in a relaxed worship space created to bring all ages together and experience worship and faith formation together. Young disciples experience a meaningful message, create something that helps them connect to God, and help lead worship. And there are snacks! Every student gets a packet to take home with lessons and activities to help them learn about God, Jesus and the Church.
Children of all ages are always welcome in the sanctuary. Children of all ages are welcome to participate in Holy Communion which is on the first Sunday of each month.
If you have any questions contact Genie Bank
