Mission at TMPC

The members of Thompson Church have a heart for mission and make it a priority to serve alongside local and international mission partners as we all work together to care for our neighbors, feed the hungry, provide shelter and safety, and bring light where there is darkness. Jesus called his disciples to a life of service, compassion, and generosity and the members of Thompson Church continue to answer that call.

The people of TMPC feel blessed in many ways and so the members try to bless others both through charitable giving as well as getting their hands dirty and working alongside our partners. In fact, twice a year during a special event called SERVE Weekend in May and November, Thompson does not hold regular worship services, but rather the members participate in a number of mission and service projects in an effort to live out the call to ‘be the church’ in our community.

Ongoing Mission Projects

TMPC FOOD DRIVE

Your contributions are a blessing to our needy neighbors in Lambertville, Trenton, and Morrisville. See the events listed on the main page of website www.tmpc.org/events for current information, or see the link in e-news. (Feel free to drop off non-perishable items to our pantry shelf inside the church or see instructions for our participating food centers and their location.) Thank you for your generous support for our monthly food drives.

Fisherman’s MARK

Fisherman’s Mark meets most months at TMPC for meal preparation on the first Tuesday of the month at 8:30 am in Fellowship Hall. The sign up link can be found in the e-news or www.tmpc.org/events for time, date and our needed ingredients or to volunteer for meal preparation or for monetary donations that can be made on-line via www.tmpc.org/giving. Thank you to everyone who gives generously on a monthly basis to this outreach with their time and ingredients!

SOUP DRIVE

We always accept your donations of Soup. If you would like to help, the soup containers and labels, in sets of 10, are available in the box under the Table of Well Wishing.  If you are not able to attend the services, contact Melissa at office@tmpc.org to see when you can drop off your soups or pick up containers. 

HOW TO MAKE SOUP
Please take these containers home and fill them (3/4 full) with your favorite soup.  After they cool, place in your freezer.  Please bring the containers 3/4 filled, frozen and labeled back to TMPC at a Sunday service or on Monday morning.  The deacons will put the soup in the freezer.

HOW TO LABEL SOUP 
For Fisherman’s Mark, you will need to label your soup with what kind of soup it is but add any ingredients that are from their allergen list that aren’t in the title of the soup.  They are particularly watching for ingredients like soy, onions, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, tomatoes, mushrooms, seeds/nuts and wheat/gluten so that they know what soups to give to their food sensitive clients.  For example, if you made Lentil Soup, please add “includes tomatoes & onions on the label” (if they are in it).  You don’t have to list all ingredients like salt & pepper, herbs, chicken broth etc., just ones on the allergen list.  They would also like the label to reflect a “use by date” which is a year from the date your soup was made.  For example, if you made your soup on 7/15/20 you need to put 7/15/21 on your labels.
