An important part of our purpose at First United Methodist Church is to love our neighbors as ourselves. We continually strive to look outside the walls of our church to help those around us both with our "hands on" attention and through our financial giving. We support outreach on the local, national, and international level. |
 |
Locally, we participate each week with Randleman Community Service (RCS) Our children collect food from the congregation to give to RCS for the hungry each Sunday in their little red wagons. We also support RCS with financial giving. In addition, we support Scouts, Asheboro Prison Ministry, Faith Action House, The Salvation Army, Metodista Adonai, Family Crisis Center, Victory Junction Gang, and the Angel Tree, to name a few. We participate in disaster relief across the state and send health kits around the world. We covenant with all other United Methodist Churches to pool our finances to help causes from local children's homes to supporting education at Africa University. |
 |
At First United Methodist Church, we realize that the Church exists for those outside its doors and walls. We are at our best when in mission to our neighbors both local and far away. |

We had a total of 137 pounds of food items (August - September). May God bless each donation. The Mission Team |

| When the grocery stores had to pull the peanut butter off the shelves, the RCS had to do the same thing. The supply is very low. We can help by collecting peanut butter, jelly, instant potatoes, powdered or canned milk, crackers, and other boxed items of food. Remember the time we make the next delivery, schools will be ending for the year and many children will be at home preparing their own food. Thank you, Mission Committee | |
| Our Red Wagon Food Campaign collected a total of 283 pounds between 2/1/07 and 3/17/07. Ninety-one pounds were donated to CUOC in Asheboro and 192 pounds were donated to the Randleman Community Service. Remember now, as we celebrate Easter, the children will have a few days out of school and the needs will increase. Thank you for being so faithful to this Mission Project. | |
