The mission arm of FUMPC is very strong. As a church body, the commitment to helping others is a major focus. There are many ongoing projects - some local and others are far more reaching. Some projects may be a "one time only", others of a repeating, annual nature, and others happening continuously. The projects are many and varied. They offer opportunity for everyone to be able to contribute to mission projects that touch their heart. Reaching out to be Christ's hands and feet to a world in need.
MISSION MATTERS
Missions, Missions and More Missions.
The one theme that runs through their minds, today, tomorrow and every day.
The Mission Team has four mission events throughout the year. The first is Help Change the World. First United Methodist local needs mission and UMCOR were the chosen ministries for the Help Change the World mission.
The second event is Blankets+. We will collect from April 29-May 10. Offering envelopes will be available in the hymnal racks in the pew.

Cathy contacted Larry White of Project Hope who travels to Nicaragua each year. Last year we sent 100 school bags and donated the money to purchase school supplies once Larry's team arrived in Nicaragua. We also donated 100 more school bags to Project Hope for use with other teams traveling during the year. This year (2026) Larry will take 200 school bags when his team travels to Nicaragua in July/August. We are so ever grateful for Janet Heim who sews all of the school bags each year.
This summer during Vacation Bible School the children will bring canned goods, rather than money, to help supply food for our Food Boxes.
This year marks the 3000th dress sewn by the Dress-a-Girl mission team. May 17th we will recognize and celebrate the work of the ladies who have sewn dresses to be distributed over seas.
This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Mission Team. They are all busy with mission work throughout Montgomery City. The Prayer Shawl Ministries is another means of showing God's love. Prayer Shawls are located in the Fellowship Hall on the south end of the room on the book shelf. There is a clipboard in which you may put the name of the person who will be given the shawl, the person delivering it, and the date. Please feel free to show God's love through this ministry.
Pairs and Spares
The wonderful people of our Pairs and Spares Sunday School class provided an $800.00 financial contribution through UMCOR. This type of gift ensures 100% is used for its intended mission or ministry. UMCOR's work fulfills both physical and spiritual needs through a variety of partnerships worldwide to reach over 60 countries. UMCOR responds to natural disasters such as the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.
