I have to admit even after being a member of First United Methodist Church since 2012, I had NO IDEA the breadth of services offered or the number of lives touched by the Mission.
At the First Street Mission, our prayer is that we run ourselves out of business. For decades, hundreds of volunteers have worked tirelessly to provide for the basic needs of neighbors who are experiencing poverty and homelessness.
The K-5th grade Mission classes did a great job decorating terra-cotta pots and planting small plants! Please stop by the 2nd floor this Sunday, May 7, to purchase a plant for Mother’s Day!
It’s humbling to be here, surrounded by people living their faith. It’s also fun, challenging, and inspiring. You’re invited to join us sometime. Sign up for a tour and see for yourself.
First Street Methodist Mission was filled with music and laughing today. It may have been cold and cloudy outside, but our friends were inside celebrating together.
We couldn’t make events like Thanksgiving baskets happen, nor any of our year-round services for that matter, without the generosity of the First Church community, so again—THANK YOU!
Foodie Philanthropy announced that they raised a record $70,000.00 in support of Methodist Justice Ministry (MJM), their 2022 charity of choice.
This season of Lent we will be reflecting deeply together on the values that make us who we are as a faith community, including: Evangelism, Discipleship, Community, Compassion, Worship, and Commitment.
In Matthew, we are called to be the light of the world; to be a source of comfort and reassurance to those we meet along our faith journey. I invite you to be that source of illumination during this Easter season by making a “Second Mile” Easter offering that will support three life-changing ministries.
Given the unusual past 12 months, this year’s “Second Mile” Easter Offering is more important now than ever before.
