First UMC is collecting personal care items for men, women, and children in need. If you have a little extra time on your hands, consider putting together some items that would be useful to someone who is un-homed.
We will be gathering the items listed below, so that we can distribute them at our Food Distribution (Third Tuesday of every month) or when is needed. A Plastic bin is located at the entrance of the Sanctuary (narthex) for collection.
With your help, we will continue to reflect God’s love in a very meaningful way!

“The power of Prayer”
Prayer is a conversation with God (silent or speaking out loud) about anything at anytime and anywhere. You don’t need to use big or fancy words; just be honest and sincere. Pray whenever you need to talk with God. Praise God; thank Him for what He has done; tell Him how you feel; ask God for what you need; confess what you’ve done wrong. “Don’t worry about anything, instead , pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”Philippians 4:6

Jesus Honors a Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith
24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.[a] He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
