One reason United Methodists are able to accomplish great things is the church’s emphasis on “connectionalism.” It is common to hear United Methodist leaders speak of the denomination as “the connection.” This concept has been central to Methodism from its beginning.

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me.”
Matthew 26:40
Christians are driven by a love of Jesus Christ. Their love
for Him compels them to share the “good news” with
others and it also instills in them concern and
compassion for those in our communities and those
throughout the world who are in need—the hungry, the
sick, the impoverished, the dispirited. Christians also
expect their churches—the “body of Christ,” as the
apostle Paul put it—to use their resources to reach out
to others. Providing direction and leadership to
Memorial’s efforts to carry out this important mission is
the Reach Committee.
