Gift of Prayer for Our Church
Our prayer ministry is entering its 5th year with the same goal, to cover First Church in prayer. Each day in 2022 we want a member of our congregation praying for our pastors, staff, ministries, and members. We invite you to sign up to pray for our church.
Mission of the Month
The September Mission of the Month features the Rehoboth Congolese Congregation which is part of the First Church family. Even though some Congolese Refugees have been in the Fox Valley for a while, several more have arrived and the Congolese Community is growing. Assisting them with the expense of personal hygiene products is one way to help ease their financial burden as Food Share money cannot be used towards these types of products. The wish list includes: Diapers, especially size 4, 5 and 6; diaper wipes, toilet tissue, facial tissue, paper towel, shampoo, deodorant, dish soap, bar soap, liquid hand soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste and brushes, and female personal hygiene pads, (no tampons please). Place items in the marked bin by the Wesley Room. If you prefer making a financial donation, the shopping will be done for you! Please turn any money in to the office and indicate it is for the September Mission of the Month. Any questions can be directed to Cynthia Whitely, Mission Team.
Hands-On Ministry Opportunities
Are you looking for ways to live out your faith by serving those in need in our local community? Does your employer offer time-off to participate in volunteer activities? Each month, First Church will provide opportunities for anyone to participate in hands-on volunteering opportunities throughout our local community.
Opportunities to volunteer for Ruby’s Pantry will be the first Tuesday of each month at First English Lutheran. Be sure to enter Appleton, WI as your primary location, and indicate that you are part of a First United Methodist Church group, with Donna Frick as Contact Person. The volunteer coordinator from First English will be in contact to confirm your participation.
Prayer Request
Our Befriender Ministry exists to pray with you and for you, and is honored to lift your concerns and joys to God in total confidence and without judgment.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7Stay Connected With Us
