Our Mission

On the first Sunday of each month, FUMC contributes particular  items to the Salvation Army. Each church is asked for something different each month. In September, we are asked to provide personal care products (shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.).

Takes place in October. Interested persons should contact the church office. Watch church bulletins for more specific information as it becomes available.

We have sponsored several missionaries with contributions to their schools, hospitals, and other work that they do. At times we have had missionaries come to FUMC and share what they do at a potluck.The missionaries we have supported are the Mefors in Africa, Foglemans at RedBird Mission in the US, Peggy Egbert in Iowa, and Jim Purdue with Hispanic Ministries in Iowa.

The Bishop of Iowa sends out a call for assistance to churches in Iowa who need help with remodeling or perhaps even building a new church. Individual members have responded to this call, and send in contributions.

Church members bring unused coats to give to the needy during cold winter months.

This fund grows by contributions from our members to be used for members in a time of personal need.

Starting in the late spring and continuing through late fall, our mission table is filled with fresh fruits and vegetables from our gardens. Sometimes baked goods are brought in. We all enjoy buying things from the table to take home and use. Money from the table is used to feed the hungry, support missionaries, and other projects that support those in need.
