Each month we focus on a particular cause or mission to support. 

 

The Mission committee has graciously designated Family Table as the September Mission of the Month. 

There is great need in our community as we’ve seen in both our drive thru and sit-down meals. We are back to sit down meals inside with some social distancing and volunteers wearing masks as long as there is no COVID surge.  We’ve retooled the 3-course meal to be served on individual plates instead of family style with a salad bar for safety and the guests are enjoying it!  Family Table is not part of the congregational budget and is funded solely by Mission donations.  Currently, the average cost per month is $250, so our goal to fund next year’s meals is $3000.  Family Table is truly a volunteer ministry where many hearts, minds, and hands work together to reach our neighbors in need.  As we get going with the indoor meal again we will need an increase in volunteers too.   Please join us as we continue to respond to John Wesley’s challenge to “Do all the good you can.”                                

Please consider donating to this worthy cause.  We are so grateful and appreciate your continued ministry to the missions of FUMC.  Remember that giving is easy using the “Give Online” button on the FUMC website and then select “Missions.”  You can also mail your donation to the church’s office at 680 Mississippi Street, Fridley, MN  55432.  Please write “September Missions” on the memo line of your check.  Thank you for your generous support of our mission programs!

We will be supporting a new missionary, Rev. J. Park.

 

Rev. J. Park is a United Methodist missionary serving as the Country Director of the Southeast Asia Mission Initiative, based in Ho Chi Minh City.  Rev. Park felt a call to ministry early in his life and has served as a pastor for 20 years, including starting multiple church plants.  His family came to the Christian faith through Methodist missionaries in Korea which inspired many of his family members to become pastors and missionaries.  His wife, T. Park, is also a missionary.  They are excited and happy to serve in Southeast Asia and hope to spread the Christian message in that part of the world.   The Minnesota Conference has a partnership with the Parks, and we can look forward to hearing more about them in the future.
