Your Help Needed to Feed Area Homeless (Donations accepted through Friday October 28)
Dear FUMC Family and Friends,
As we say a prayer of thanks to God before each meal, we have many “neighbors” in the Laurel community who whisper a prayer for something – anything – to eat.
The Loukota Small Group, a ministry team within First United Methodist Church (FUMC), will prepare a hot meal and serve it to guests of the Grassroots Day Resource Center (GDRC) in Jessup, Maryland. However, we need the help of our FUMC family to purchase the menu items. Will you partner with us to show Christ to the hungry? We’ve individually listed the needed food items on index cards which can be found at our ministry table in the narthex (lobby). Following today’s service, we ask that you take a moment to stop by the table and select a card (or several) for the items you will provide. Please drop off your food donations at the church no later than Friday, October 28. Financial donations will also be accepted.
The Grassroots Day Resource Center serves members of the homeless community and, along with meals, helps restore personal dignity by meeting basic needs including: showers, clothing, laundry, providing a mailing address, referrals, and other services. On average, the Center serves 50-70 individuals (on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays). For many guests, this is their only regular meal.
Please partner with us as we serve those in need and in turn, serve Christ Himself. We can’t do it without you. Thank you for your compassion and selflessness. Together, we can be used by God to transform lives as we demonstrate the love and reality of the living Jesus. Stop by our table in the lobby after service to pick up your card(s). We’d love to greet and thank you personally!
For the Glory of God,
The Loukota Small Group
“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?’ The King will answer and say to them, Truly ‘I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ “
