Serving Our Neighbors
I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me… Matthew 25:35-36
Put Your Mission Into Motion
Whether it is flooding in Texas, a hurricane on the Gulf Coast, or famine and parasites in underdeveloped countries, Pflugerville FUMC offers helping hands to neighbors in need.
United Methodist Committee of Relief
UMCOR is a ministry of The United Methodist Church whose goal is to assist the most vulnerable persons affected by crisis or chronic need. Pflugerville FUMC actively participates in UMCOR efforts including on-site disaster assistance and financial support through One Great Hour of Sharing.
United Methodist Volunteers in Mission
UMVIM is designed to provide Christians an opportunity to offer their skills and talents for service in short term assignments. Their work includes construction and renewing of mission facilities, teaching, witnessing, conducting medical clinics, conducting Bible study or Bible School for children, and serving in disaster relief efforts around the world. Pflugerville FUMC members volunteer for UMVIM mission trips both locally and globally.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to ending the cycle of poverty housing and promotes the deeply held belief that everyone deserves a decent, affordable place to live. Pflugerville FUMC participates locally with Austin Habitat for Humanity.
DISASTER RESPONSE
The Early Response Team (ERT) arm of UMCOR responds to natural or civil disasters of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on its own. Pflugerville FUMC ERT volunteers are among the first to arrive at disaster sites to assist victims and distribute ERT-prepared Cleaning Supply Buckets. Pflugerville FUMC outfitted more than 100 buckets in 2016.
