Mission Opportunity - Rice Donations Needed
During the month of March, we will be collecting 2 – 5 pound bags of white rice to
deliver to Riverton Park United Methodist Church. Each month we will add to our
monetary donation with an item that they are regularly in need of, as they work to
support those staying at their church. Drop off your donation in the box in the
narthex.
Thanks in advance for your participation in our support of our sister congregation.
Thank you, also, Dianne and Mike, for volunteering to deliver our donation each
month!

UMCOR Sunday March 10th
UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, responds to disasters and other
work that alleviates human suffering around the United States as well as around
the world.
UMCOR Sunday is March 10, a time when our gifts support their administrative
costs. The offerings we give for UMCOR Sunday will make sure that 100% of gifts
designated for a specific need will go entirely for that designated need.
You can contribute on our church website’s Online Giving page at
https://fairwoodumc.org/give/.
You can also donate via cash or check (payable to FCUMC). Just note that it’s for
UMCOR Sunday.
