Gifts and Talents Survey
If you are unsure of the best place to serve, we encourage you to take our online spiritual gifts inventory that will give you a better idea of the places you are most suited for ministry. You can find the survey here: http://ee.umc.org/what-we-believe/spiritual-gifts
Interfaith Shelter
The Interfaith Shelter Rotational Shelter Program is a collaborative effort that provides shelter, services, and resources to homeless San Diegans throughout the region. This program is fully funded by donations and run by volunteers. We have been involved with the Interfaith Shelter for over 30 years!
This year, we are going to be hosting the Rotational Shelter Program from February 22nd to March 7th. There are many ways for you to help with this effort. We have already filled all our meal slots for this year – thank you to all who have volunteered for that! If you still want to get involved, here’s how you can help:
- Stay overnight at church with our guests as a part of our overnight support team. A cot or couch will be provided in a separate room – just bring your own bedding and pillow! Bring a friend, spouse or teen who could use some service hours! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f44adaa22a13-overnight4
- Donate supplies and/or food. This program relies on the generosity of folks like you with your donations of paper goods, toiletries, medicine, and cash just to name a few! Please deliver your donations (labeled from you for shelter) to the kitchen or office by Thursday, February 20th. Make sure refrigerator items make it into the refrigerator!
Thank you for supporting this ministry and providing care for our temporarily displaced brothers and sisters in San Diego County! If you have any questions contact RaeLynn Fuson, staff liason for the Missions Committee, at raelynn.fuson@fumccv.org.
Canvas Photos
There are 12×18 canvas photos taken at church events that may include various church members. They are hung in various locations in Fellowship Hall and the Church office. If you wish to have any of these, you may purchase them for $40. Once a photo is purchased, a new one will go in it’s place. See the front office for details.
Gifts and Talents
In our vast and complex world it is easy to lose sight of one’s place, contribution, and impact. One pebble thrown into a vast lake can create ripples all the way to the edge and increase the water level. By the grace of God we will be formed as disciples and leaders, one pebble at a time.
Together we will transform lives — as many as we can, in all the ways we can, in all the places we can, in all the times we can, and as long as we can. We will be the pebbles that God sends forth creating the ripple effect of God’s transforming love in us and through us.
How do you fit into this vision?
