Relay for Life

The Murphysboro United Methodist Church has had a Relay For Life team for over 15 years.  Our team name is “Methodists on a Mission,” and the name tells our story.  We are a group definitely on a mission to help end cancer.  Throughout the year we host various fundraisers to raise money that is donated to the American Cancer Society.  The ACS uses our money for research, education, assistance programs, and advocacy.

Every Sunday during worship service, someone battling cancer is lifted up in prayer.   The need is great, and we feel this is an important mission for our church.  Our team consists of men, women, and kids and always welcomes new members.  For team information feel free to contact Sharon Jones at 618-687-4388 or pmjones45@frontier.com.  Our team info may also be accessed at the Murphysboro Relay website:  http://relayforlifeofmurphysboro.com
