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.
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.
Pillars Adult Shelter provides overnight shelter to adults experiencing homelessness in our community. On an average night about 55 adults are provided a hearty meal and a warm, dry place to sleep. On Saturday, February 12 at 2pm we will prepare a meal at the First Church kitchen and deliver it to the Pillars Adult Shelter. We’ll need about 6 people to prepare and deliver the meal. We also need 4 people to prepare a dessert at home and drop it off at church.
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
