Faith and Sight

Scripture: Genesis 22:1-14

Hebrews famously tells us that faith is “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” And while we will not see the fullness of God’s promises until Jesus comes again, it doesn’t mean we are left with nothing. In one of the most iconic stories of the Old Testament, we see faith and sight intertwined.

Hymn #371 I Stand Amazed in the Presence (v. 1,2,4,5)

1. I stand amazed in the presence
of Jesus the Nazarene,
and wonder how he could love me,
a sinner, condemned, unclean.

Refrain:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful
is my Savior’s love for me!

2. For me it was in the garden
he prayed: “Not my will, but thine.”
He had no tears for his own griefs,
but sweat-drops of blood for mine.
(Refrain)

4. He took my sins and my sorrows,
he made them his very own;
he bore the burden to Calvary,
and suffered and died alone.
(Refrain)

5. When with the ransomed in glory
his face I at last shall see,
’twill be my joy through the ages
to sing of his love for me.
(Refrain)

Amazing Grace

Verse 1

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

Verse 2

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Chorus 1

My chains are gone I’ve been set free
My God my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love amazing grace

Verse 3

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Verse 4

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Lord I Need You

Verse 1

Lord I come I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart

Chorus 1

Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev’ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You

Verse 2

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Misc 1

(Bridge)
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus You’re my hope and stay
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus You’re my hope and stay

Chorus 2

Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev’ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You

Online Service – Scripture

Genesis 22: 1-14

After these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away. Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship, and then we will come back to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac said to his father Abraham, “Father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together.

When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”

Psalm 13

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?

    How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I bear pain in my soul,
    and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
and my enemy will say, “I have prevailed”;
    my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.

But I trusted in your steadfast love;
    my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
    because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
   Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
   Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
   Born of the virgin Mary,
   Suffered under Pontius Pilate
   Was crucified, died, and was buried;
   He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
   He ascended into heaven,
   Is seated at the right hand of the Father,
   And will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
   The holy catholic church,
   The communion of saints,
   The forgiveness of sins,
   The resurrection of the body,
   And the life everlasting.

Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
   hallowed be thy name.
   Thy kingdom come,
   thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
   as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
   but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory,
   forever. Amen.

Invitation, Confession, and Pardon

Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him,
   who earnestly repent of their sin
   and seek to live in peace with one another.
Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another.

Merciful God,
   we confess that we have not loved
you with our whole heart.
We have failed to be an obedient church.
   We have not done your will,
   we have broken your law,
   we have rebelled against your love,
   we have not loved our neighbors,
   and we have not heard the cry of the needy.
Forgive us, we pray.
Free us for joyful obedience,
   through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hear the good news:
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners;
that proves God’s love toward us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!

In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
Glory to God. Amen.

Today’s Sermon: Resurrection = New Life

Scripture: Romans 6:1-11

There is a key difference between resuscitation and resurrection. One restores to old life and the other gives new life. As we begin to figure out what our lives will look like after the pandemic, we have the opportunity to choose one or the other.

Hymn #77 How Great Thou Art

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
And when I think of God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow with humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

 

Mighty to Save

Verse 1

Ev’ryone needs compassion
Love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Ev’ryone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations

Chorus 1

Saviour He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Verse 2

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Ev’rything I believe in
Now I surrender

Online Service – Scripture

Romans 6:1-11

What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 86:1-10, 16-17

Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
    for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am devoted to you;
    save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; be gracious to me, O Lord,
    for to you do I cry all day long.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
    for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
    abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
    listen to my cry of supplication.
In the day of my trouble I call on you,
    for you will answer me.

There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
    nor are there any works like yours.
All the nations you have made shall come
    and bow down before you, O Lord,
    and shall glorify your name.
For you are great and do wondrous things;
    you alone are God.

Turn to me and be gracious to me;
    give your strength to your servant;
    save the child of your serving girl.
Show me a sign of your favor,
    so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame,
    because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

Grace & Grits 

Because of  concern around the safety of guests and volunteers,  First UMC plans to shift to an additional grocery distribution day instead of a hot meal until at least August of 2020. 

Here are the ways in which we can help: 

  •  If you know anyone in need of grocery assistance, please refer them to First UMC’s  alleyway entrance off of Fifth Street in downtown Sanford either Fridays from 10am-12pm or Sundays from 1pm to 3pm. All are welcome! They provide grains, canned and fresh proteins, bread and pastries, canned and fresh vegetables, fruit, snack foods and occasionally other things acquired from Second Harvest such as orange juice or children’s snack items. Folks are simply required to give their name, family size, and answer preference questions like whether they’d like the additional items available. 
  • The Society of St. Andrew’s gleaning program makes it possible for groups to pick otherwise unused fresh produce to be distributed to folks at their bi-weekly grocery distribution. If you have a group that would like to glean, you can contact Kelly at Society of St Andrew, coordinate a group gleaning, and work with them to drop it off at First UMC at their next available days. 
  • If you are in a low risk group and would like to help distribute food to the community in safe and efficient way, please contact us. First UMC often times need a small group of folks to help with this.
  • If you are in a low risk group and would like to help to sort the food on Thursdays, please contact us.

Today’s Sermon: Spirit-Focused Decision Making in a Time of Transition

Scripture: Acts 1:15-17, 20-26

Leadership and decision making are normally hard enough. In times of transition, when you’re trying to discern and design a “new normal,” it gets even harder. A little-known story from Acts gives us a picture of what this looked like in the earliest days of the Church.

Acts 1:15-17, 20-26

In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said, “Friends, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus— for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.”

“For it is written in the book of Psalms,

‘Let his homestead become desolate,
    and let there be no one to live in it’;

and

‘Let another take his position of overseer.’

So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.” So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed and said, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.

Psalm 8

O Lord, our Sovereign,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.
    Out of the mouths of babes and infants
you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
    to silence the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars that you have established;
what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
    mortals that you care for them?

Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under their feet,
all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Sovereign,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
   Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
   Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
   Born of the virgin Mary,
   Suffered under Pontius Pilate
   Was crucified, died, and was buried;
   He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
   He ascended into heaven,
   Is seated at the right hand of the Father,
   And will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
   The holy catholic church,
   The communion of saints,
   The forgiveness of sins,
   The resurrection of the body,
   And the life everlasting.

Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
   hallowed be thy name.
   Thy kingdom come,
   thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
   as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
   but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory,
   forever. Amen.

Invitation, Confession, and Pardon

Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him,
   who earnestly repent of their sin
   and seek to live in peace with one another.
Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another.

Merciful God,
   we confess that we have not loved
you with our whole heart.
We have failed to be an obedient church.
   We have not done your will,
   we have broken your law,
   we have rebelled against your love,
   we have not loved our neighbors,
   and we have not heard the cry of the needy.
Forgive us, we pray.
Free us for joyful obedience,
   through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hear the good news:
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners;
that proves God’s love toward us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!

In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
Glory to God. Amen.

Ways to HELP

 

Grace & Grits 

Because of  concern around the safety of guests and volunteers,  First UMC plans to shift to an additional grocery distribution day instead of a hot meal until at least August of 2020. 

Here are the ways in which we can help: 

  •  If you know anyone in need of grocery assistance, please refer them to First UMC’s  alleyway entrance off of Fifth Street in downtown Sanford either Fridays from 10am-12pm or Sundays from 1pm to 3pm. All are welcome! They provide grains, canned and fresh proteins, bread and pastries, canned and fresh vegetables, fruit, snack foods and occasionally other things acquired from Second Harvest such as orange juice or children’s snack items. Folks are simply required to give their name, family size, and answer preference questions like whether they’d like the additional items available. 
  • The Society of St. Andrew’s gleaning program makes it possible for groups to pick otherwise unused fresh produce to be distributed to folks at their bi-weekly grocery distribution. If you have a group that would like to glean, you can contact Kelly at Society of St Andrew, coordinate a group gleaning, and work with them to drop it off at First UMC at their next available days. 
  • If you are in a low risk group and would like to help distribute food to the community in safe and efficient way, please contact us. First UMC often times need a small group of folks to help with this.
  • If you are in a low risk group and would like to help to sort the food on Thursdays, please contact us.

Today’s Sermon: Out of Control

Scripture: Acts 2:1-18, 37-42, Numbers 11:16-17, 24-29, Psalm 33:6-12

Many of us like to be in control, and one of the revelations of this season of pandemic is just how little control we actually have. But in the story of Pentecost, even when God empowers people to build and lead the church, we see that control wasn’t God’s top priority.

Hymn #144 This Is My Father's World

The Heart of Worship

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless your heart

I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You’re looking into my heart

I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
It’s all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I’ll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart

I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
It’s all about You Jesus

Its all about you
Jesus

How Great Is Our God

Verse 1

The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
And trembles at His voice

Chorus 1

How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God

Verse 2

And age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Misc 1

(Bridge)
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

Online Service – Scripture

Acts 2:1-18, 37-42

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.”

But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:

‘In the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
    and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams.
Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit;
        and they shall prophesy.

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.” And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Psalm 104:24-34, 35b

 

O Lord, how manifold are your works!
    In wisdom you have made them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.
Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
    creeping things innumerable are there,
    living things both small and great.
There go the ships,
    and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.

These all look to you
    to give them their food in due season;
when you give to them, they gather it up;
    when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
    when you take away their breath, they die
    and return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
    and you renew the face of the ground.

May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works—
who looks on the earth and it trembles,
    who touches the mountains and they smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    for I rejoice in the Lord.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord!

Sermon Series: Pray This Way

When teaching his disciples how to pray, Jesus said, “Pray this way…” What came next was five short verses that we pray every week in worship and countless people have memorized. The brevity and familiarity might lead us to think of the Lord’s Prayer as simple. But upon closer inspection, it is anything but simple. It is quite possibly the most powerful prayer we have ever prayed.

 

Today’s Sermon: Kingdom, Power, and Glory

Scripture: Matthew 6:13

As we wrap up our series on the Lord’s Prayer, we are faced with a familiar and seemingly simple benediction: yours, God, is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. But as we have found with the entirety of this prayer, it is much easier to say than it is to truly live out.

Blessed Assurance

Chorus 1

This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long

Verse 1

Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation purchase of God
Born of His Spirit washed in His blood

Verse 2

Perfect submission perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy whispers of love

Verse 3

Perfect submission all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest
Watching and waiting looking above
Filled with His goodness lost in His love

Your Name

Verse 1

As morning dawns and evening fades
You inspire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
And glorify Your Name

Chorus 1

Your Name is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name let the nations sing it louder
‘Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your Name

Verse 2

Jesus in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord give us strength to live for You
And glorify Your Name

Matthew 28:18-20

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Psalm 68:4-10, 32-35

Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
    lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds—
his name is the Lord—
    be exultant before him.

Father of orphans and protector of widows
    is God in his holy habitation.
God gives the desolate a home to live in;
    he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
    but the rebellious live in a parched land.

O God, when you went out before your people,
    when you marched through the wilderness,
the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain
    at the presence of God, the God of Sinai,
    at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Rain in abundance, O God, you showered abroad;
    you restored your heritage when it languished;
your flock found a dwelling in it;
    in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.

 

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth;
    sing praises to the Lord,
O rider in the heavens, the ancient heavens;
    listen, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
Ascribe power to God,
    whose majesty is over Israel;
    and whose power is in the skies.
Awesome is God in his sanctuary,
    the God of Israel;
    he gives power and strength to his people.

Blessed be God!

We also have several groups that are meeting through zoom. If you are interested, please see our life groups page :  LakesideUMC.net/lifegroups. 

How We Will Care For One Another

We have created a congregation care plan, and we need your help. If you would like to be checked in on occasionally by a fellow Lakeside member, or you would like to volunteer to check in on your fellow congregation members, please fill out the form here: https://lakesideumc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/112867

Support for Pastor Cameron And His Family

Our staff has been so moved by the outpouring of love and prayer our congregation has shared for Pastor Cameron and his family. There are three primary ways you can support their family at this time:

  • Send cards or notes to Lakeside, which we will pass on.
  • Contribute to their GoFundMe campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/cameron-lashbrook
  • Send gift cards for the following locations to Lakeside, which we will pass on: Zoe’s Kitchen, Currito, Panera, Publix, Chiantis

Ways to HELP

 

Grace & Grits 

Because of  concern around the safety of guests and volunteers,  First UMC plans to shift to an additional grocery distribution day instead of a hot meal until at least August of 2020. 

Here are the ways in which we can help: 

  •  If you know anyone in need of grocery assistance, please refer them to First UMC’s  alleyway entrance off of Fifth Street in downtown Sanford either Fridays from 10am-12pm or Sundays from 1pm to 3pm. All are welcome! They provide grains, canned and fresh proteins, bread and pastries, canned and fresh vegetables, fruit, snack foods and occasionally other things acquired from Second Harvest such as orange juice or children’s snack items. Folks are simply required to give their name, family size, and answer preference questions like whether they’d like the additional items available. 
  • The Society of St. Andrew’s gleaning program makes it possible for groups to pick otherwise unused fresh produce to be distributed to folks at their bi-weekly grocery distribution. If you have a group that would like to glean, you can contact Kelly at Society of St Andrew, coordinate a group gleaning, and work with them to drop it off at First UMC at their next available days. 
  • If you are in a low risk group and would like to help distribute food to the community in safe and efficient way, please contact us. First UMC often times need a small group of folks to help with this.
  • If you are in a low risk group and would like to help to sort the food on Thursdays, please contact us.

 

Drive Through Food Donation: Wednesday, June 3rd- 11:00am-2:00pm

Since we aren’t able to serve at Grace in Grits on June 3rd like originally scheduled, we have planned a Drive Through Food Donation to help support their food pantry.  Bring your non perishable food donation by Lakeside.  We’ll serve a community all while getting to see familiar faces while social distancing.  You won’t even have to get out of the car.  We hope to see you there!

 

Florida United Methodist Children’s Home

We will be collecting monetary donations for the Children’s Home between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.  Please make sure your donations are marked with FUMCH.  Thank you so much.  If you are interested in learning more about the great work the Children’s Home is doing, please visit their website at https://www.fumch.org

Non Perishable Food Drive

We are collecting non perishable food items for a few of the local food pantries who are running low on supply.  Please drop off your donations at the church between 10am and 12pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.  You can leave outside of the doors to the church and our staff will bring in and make sure it gets to the food pantries in need.
