Donate a Panera Gift Card to Say Thank You...
Church, We have a personal connection to the Covid Unit at one of our local hospitals. To say thank you to all the people risking their health and their lives daily to bring healing to Central Floridas Covid patients...Let's treat them to lunch by bringing them a bunch of Panera Gift cards. Purchase the gift card and please write a personal thank you note on it. You can drop the gift cards off at the church office or mail them to us at Faith UMC 1411 N. Dean rd.

Church,
Can you believe that we have made it this far! With all that has happened this year…the pandemic and everything else that has been happening. Here we are, beginning again in Advent. This season is all about recognizing that as we are certain that Jesus the Christ has come to show us the way, there are still many ways and places in our lives and in our world that we long for our Messiah. As a world we are longing for healing, longing for restoration, longing for justice, and even longing for things we can’t quite yet articulate. As your pastor I am grateful we have the chance to walk this journey together. I pray we grow in our ability to lean on one another in this time of waiting and anticipation.
There are a few things going on at church I want you to be aware of as we head toward Christmas and into next year.
- Feeding Our Community - Ways You Can Serve
- Gift Cards for Hospital Covid Unit Staff
As a community of faith I want to invite you to collect $10 Panera gift cards. These will be donated to the Doctors, Nurses, and Staff of the Covid Unit at a nearby large hospital. It would be a wonderful thing to show these folks some love this season as they have worked so hard in challenging circumstances now for a very long time. Please mail these gift cards or drop them off at the church office. Faith UMC Orlando 1411 N. Dean Orlando, Fl 32825
- Christmas Support for Local Families
Through the Church Food Pantry we are partnering with our local elementary school and a couple other local organizations to donate Christmas presents to families that the school identifies as needing assistance this Christmas. If you would like to support this effort the best way to do so is to make a donation supporting the food pantry. Donations can be made here... www.Faithumcorlando.org/give As we continue to strengthen our food pantry financially. It will lead to our being able to do more and more amazing things like this in the future.
- Make a Year-End Gift to the Church
There is nothing like the joy that comes from giving Christmas presents. It is a good thing to treat the church as a member of your family by making a year end gift. If you wish to serve by financially strengthening the church and its ministries as we head into 2021, Please make a year end contribution to the general fund here... www.Faithumcorlando.org/give
