LOL (LOVING OUT LOUD) MINISTRIES

Sack Lunch Ministry

We have a heart for the disadvantaged and homeless population in our community and believe we are called to minister to them. First UMC gives out a free sack lunch daily Monday-Thursday from 9:30 am to 11:30 am (or until the sack lunches run out) to our neighbors in need. We offer 25 pre-packed sack lunches daily. The lunch contains a canned meat, fruit cup crackers or cookies, and a drink. All items are individually wrapped.


Cold Night Shelter

First UMC, Grace United Methodist and St. Paul A.M.E. alternate in opening their doors for our homeless community when weather temperatures drop below 40 degrees (Fahrenheit). The doors open at 8:30 pm. Location is announced on the day of the event. The Cold Night Shelter hotline is  (904) 819-4344.
