This Week@FUMC Allen
March 15 2020
Greetings!

Our church is committed to serving others. As part of our recent building project, we combined our heart for mission with our appreciation of good food and drinks to create Missions Café.

This ministry offers coffee, espresso drinks, smoothies, and a variety of food choices, including donuts and smokies from Max’s Donuts, to raise money to support the mission efforts of our church.

Through the support of our Brew Crew volunteers and faithful customers, Missions Café is excited to announce that since our grand opening in August, we’ve given away $3,261.16 to support missions!

Send Hope, our international mission partner, received $2,795.69. Heifer International, the designated recipient of our DARING Youth Music volunteers efforts, received $465.47.
We are looking forward to partnering with more groups in our church to benefit more mission partners this year and beyond.

If you are interested in adopting a month to serve at Missions Café, if you’d like to become one of our amazing Brew Crew volunteers, or if you just have more questions, contact Rev. Jessica Wright.

Thank you for serving others through Missions Café!
COVID-19 Update from FUMC Allen

On Tuesday, Pastor Mary Beth emailed a statement from FUMC Allen regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and its impact on our church. If you missed that email. you can read it here .

As you may know, many decisions have been made and communicated at a local and a national level since that email was sent. We are working very closely with the City of Allen's Fire Department Emergency Response team and following their recommendations, but we wanted to re-interate these key points:

  • We will still have worship on Sunday and regular Sunday afternoon activities
  • Your staff is taking extra precautions to sanitize surfaces and will do so throughout the day on Sunday.
  • If you, your teen, or your child are sick, stay home. If your child or teen displays symptoms if illness while at a church activity, we will isolate them and contact a parent or guardian.
  • We support the CDC recommendation that vulnerable populations take special caution during this outbreak. We also recommend that those over 80 or people over 60 with underlying health conditions stay home.
  • Wash your hands often, and avoid touching your face with your hands.
  • Avoid close contact with others (i.e. hugs, shaking hands, etc.) 

And remember, DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE FEAR. We are people of faith whose hope is in Jesus. We invited you to take a moment to read Psalm 91 (click on the image below for the full text) and say a prayer for our neighbors, our community, our country, and God's world.

Please watch your email for any updates as they pertain to the FUMC Allen . You can also watch for updates on this CITY OF ALLEN Coronavirus community page.
