Christmas in July/August!

We will be helping Tilles Elementary School and Darby Junior High School with their school supplies.
Look for the Christmas trees in the Narthex area, 2nd floor children’s area, and in the Family Life Center that will be adorned with school supply ornaments. These schools and our neighbors are very appreciative of FUMC’s support and help with school supplies.

Graffiti Removal

First UMC is teaming up with other Methodists churches in our area and the City of Fort Smith to help home owners with the removal of graffiti from their property. The necessary equipment for this ministry has been supplied through a grant from the FUMC foundation and now we need volunteers to help. This ministry will take place on a needs basis and generally takes a couple of hours to remove or to paint over the graffiti. If you would be interested in being a part of this outreach ministry, contact Janice at the office, 782-5068 or email jsudbrink@fsfumc.org

You Can Help
I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward. Mark 9:41
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. Matthew 25:35
The Community Rescue Mission is collecting bottled water to distribute to the poor and homeless this summer. Last year they distributed over 3,000 bottles of water. Please bring your donations of bottle water to Janice’s office. Your donations are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact the chruch office at 782-5068.
Thank you so much for showing Christ’s love to those in need.
