OUTREACH

 

Food Pantry

        Since 1985, the United Methodist Women have sponsored a local mission project collecting food items designated for the Food Pantry operated by the neighboring Evangelical Lutheran Church. Suggested monthly donations are posted on the bulletin board in the hallway of the Family Life Center, Sunday bulletins and the monthly newsletter.

  

 

Tape Ministry

        The tape ministry is sponsored and financed by the Second Milers Sunday School class.  This ministry provides tapes (audio or video) of the Sunday morning traditional service for the shut-ins or those who could not attend the service. These tapes are delivered the first part of the week after the service, or they can be picked up by any individual for delivery.
        We have and will continue to make tapes(to keep) for those who have been inspired by a particular sermon or choir selection. If you would like to have a tape for any reason, contact George or Ruth Dopp or Frank,e or Ray Mowen.

  

 

Witness Ministries Group

        A volunteer group, members volunteer their time, talents or service to witness Jesus Christ to our community. Hew members are always welcome as are new ideas to further Christ's Kingdom of believers her on earth. Anyone wanting to be a part of this group or has an idea to witness to the unsaved PLEASE contact Saundra Alleman.

  

 

Nurture and Outreach Committee

        When the Nurture and Outreach Committee was formed, twelve Care Team Leaders were recruited, each of who would serve ten of the 120 individuals/families at First Church. As new persons are added to our fellowship, they, too will be cared for by a specific team. The team leaders try their best to encourage and assist "their people" when help is needed. Some example of their services include providing a meal(s), arranging for transportation to a doctor appointment, or providing adult or baby sitting when the primary care giver needs relief. Services are provided by volunteers from the church family who has placed their name on a list, ready when needed.

        In addition, this committee sponsors a Bread of Welcome ministry. Don't be surprised if a loaf of fresh-baked bread shows up at your doorstep to say "You are welcome at First UMC." We sincerely hope that the Nurture and Outreach Committee can serve you in the future.
