Would you like to say “Thank You” ?

There are so many people out there helping others, going above and beyond what they are expected to do. Health Care Providers, Truck Drivers, Grocery Store Employees, our Police & Fire Departments and many more that we don’t even know.

If you would like to set down and make a Thank You card or help your children create one, please take a picture and Email it to us at mark@fumccp.org or you can text it to (219) 689-3727.

We will be showing all the cards we receive on our website.

You can say Thank You to the people you don’t even know.

To the People of Our Church

One project that we are excited about and eager to initiate for our church family is for high risk elderly individuals. If you are high risk and unable to get to the grocery store on your own, please contact us (219-663-1515 or admin@fumccp.org) with your grocery list, address, and phone number so that we can provide you with what you need as it is available and have it delivered to you, by one of our own!

"It’s a comfort to know that I have a place that I can go to and be involved in as much as I want or as little as I want. I met some of my greatest friends here. My kids came here and became adults that are apart of this church. It’s exciting to see where we started as a young married couple to where we are now by watching our kids grow here along with other families. It’s a big part of my life."

"If you’re looking for a place of faith that is also fun, this would be the place to go."

"There are all kinds of different people here. We are a growing church and we are active in the community. It’s a great opportunity to help people in the community."

"This is a very welcoming environment for people of all races. There are a lot of activities for the children and the older generations."

Family Sermon Devotional – 03/29/2020

After the message, take some time with your family and discuss the following questions. Share your answers with one another. Be sure to open your bible and dive in to the scriptures provided. What a way to start your week!

Looking back, can you remember a difficult time in your life when, at that moment, you struggled to feel like Jesus was with you?

Looking back, can you now see Him at work in that situation in a way that you could not see at the time?

Take a moment to reacquaint yourself with the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis (yea, the guy with the multi colored coat- that Joseph). Now read Genesis chapter 39. When Joseph was in prison, do you think he felt like God was with him? Yet how was God working even then?

What is the scariest thing about this crisis that draws your attention and makes you feel helpless?

How do you think that God may be working in your life, even if you can’t see or feel Him at this moment?

Talk about ways that you can responsibly be a blessing to someone else during this crisis. Then, put it into action! Finally, we invite you to make a 10 to 15 second video of how you have been of service to Christ and to someone else. Email this to mark@fumccp.org Or, you can text it to (219) 689-3727

Buddy Bags

Our hearts are filled with gratitude for all who are supporting this program. Today we received an extremely generous anonymous donation that will allow us to continue to provide “emergency” Buddy Bags throughout the rest of the school year and the summer. These bags are kind of like Buddy Bags on steroids…lol…They are a small bag of groceries, some of the usual Buddy Bag items and toiletries.
God is good. All the time!!
