Want to Beef Up Your Serve Portion for a Healthier Plate?

By March 1, 2019

By now we all know that Serve is one of the six segments of discipleship that we need to intentionally fill for our Healthy Plate Discipleship. Spending time serving the Church means we are putting our faith into action. In our service to others, we not only reach out to share God’s love; we ourselves can be transformed by the relationships we form during service to our church and our community.

Love the idea of serving, but don’t know where to start?

There are many opportunities, large and small, for serving at FUMCFW. Some of these are ongoing, and some rise and fall with the seasons. During our upcoming Season of Lent you will find a wide variety of ways to give your time and your talents back to God and our church, including:

Rise Against Hunger

You can change the world with your own two hands. On March 31, FUMCFW will host a Rise Against Hunger food packaging event in the Justin Youth Building. With 120 volunteers we can package over 20,000 meal kits to a hungry community. This is an all-church project with teens and parents getting the ball rolling at 9:30 am, then all are invited to help from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. As a part of our observance of Lent and our reflection on who we are as a congregation, this meal packaging event provides an opportunity to reach out in service to others This is, after all, Us. Rise Against Hunger is an international hunger relief agency committed to ending hunger in our lifetime by providing food and life-saving aid to the world’s most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources.
