Monthly Mission Challenge

Our Missions Coordinator, Kristi Rape' has provided the following opportunity for service this summer:

My challenge to each of you is to add $2.00 or more to your grocery bill each month and bring the items to the church for me to pick-up and take to the Round Rock Service Center. If all of us just do this small task once a month, I believe it will go a long way and serve our community GREATLY! By pulling together as a group we will do GODS work in strength and may the Lord bless our gifts each month.

Some items that are needed by the center are…

Canned vegetables (corn, peas, carrots)
Canned soup
Canned beans (green, black, ranch, refried, pork’n beans, baked)
Canned tuna, meats, stews
Breakfast cereal
Pasta (spaghetti, macaroni, lasagna, hamburger helper meals)
Peanut Butter & Jelly
Toilet paper
Toiletry items such as shampoo, soap & toothpaste

During the summer months while we are not meeting regularly, I have placed a large blue plastic bin in the FLC foyer at FUMC. It has “MOMs Missions” on the front of it. Please drop off your bag of items in our bin with your name and how much you spent on the bag (example = Kristi Rape / $2.00). I will collect all the items that you donate and deliver the items every third week of each month. When we go back in September to our regular meetings at FUMC, I will ask that you bring your food donations to your Thursday or Friday class and leave it for me in our classroom or the blue plastic bin in the FLC foyer.
