    hospitality

    Each week we prepare and serve meals to people here for our Wednesday night programming.  In August that programming will be expanding and we will need more help in the kitchen to help provide a family night meal to everyone coming. 

WAYS TO SERVE

Church can happen when giving your time gives

someone new hope and

when opening hearts inspires joy.

God calls us to Go.Do. and serve others.  Together through Christ we can Go and Do big things.  Here at 1st UMC, you will find volunteers working faithfully with ministries like Welcome Table, Celebrate Recovery and Family Promise.  But the work doesn't stop there.  


Volunteers from the church are working across the community, across the country and around the world, helping improve the lives of others.  


Three of our biggest ministries rely on the dedication of dozens of volunteers.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO SERVE? 

Outreach ministries at 1st UMC are based on

this scripture from Acts which gives us a call to "Go.Do."


But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; 

and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, 

and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.

                                                                                                              Acts 1:8



Do you feel the call to "Go Do?"


Let us know where you want to serve.
