In honor of Father’s Day, First UMC continues our tradition of collecting a special offering for a designated Outreach ministry. This year’s beneficiary is Exodus World Service, which welcomes and serves refugee families resettling in our region. Our goal is $800. Donations will fund one Grocery Care Pack and one Household Care Pack for a refugee family in Rogers Park, with any additional gifts going directly to Exodus World Service. We invite you to share a special gift in celebration of the father, grandfather, or fathering figure in your life. Please return your gift to the church by or before Tuesday, June 16. If you’d like to help purchase or deliver the food and supplies alongside our Outreach team, reach out to Katy Hansen. Thank you!
