A Day in the Life of CFUMC Missions ...

It could mean empowering a child with the tools they need to learn. Or ensuring that a food-insecure family has a weekend meal. Or offering a warm smile and a hot lunch to a homeless woman. Or improving the environment and outlook of a shut-in senior.

Outreach to others is one of the most vital components of our faith. We are passionate about making our communities a better place for all. By serving others, we feel the transformative power of our beliefs and see the positive change that it brings to the world. The greatest things happen when we listen to God’s call, open our hearts wide, and serve.

Whether you dedicate a day or donate a dollar, the act of giving will transform you. And it will greatly impact the life of another.
