Mission Projects At First United
Methodist
FUMC has assembled 725 health
kits. These kits were sent to UMCOR to
be used as needed. United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is a major
contributor to the ministry and work of Central Methodist Mission. 9 cleaning
buckets were recently assembled and will be sent to areas recently flooded.
Mission teams have traveled
to Mexico and Beverly, Kentucky as part work groups. Each year there opportunities to do mission
work both at home and abroad. No skills are needed-just a willingness to help
others.
A Red Bird Appalachian craft
fair is scheduled for October 29 and 30.
Hand made items will be available.
Great Christmas gifts.
FUMC is in the process of
planning an event on September 11 to launch the new hours and expanded services
of the Second Harvest Food Bank located in our building.
