Ministry Opportunities at FUMC - Being the hands of Jesus!
         
       Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the
                         same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member
               belongs to all the others.   We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.
                                                                                                                               Romans 12:4-6

The Outreach Work Area of our church mails cards and/or CARE packages to those serving in the  military 3-4 times each year and it’s time to do another mailing.  If you would like to help by purchasing small items to be sent to them following is a list of suggestions;  gum, mints, sunflower seeds, body powder, foot powder, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and face wipes, long distance phone cards, music CD’s, word puzzle books, Reader’s Digest, hacky sack or other small games. 

Contact Jane Krug at 275-4758 or at janekrug@cox.net if you have any questions.
