GIVE
In grateful response to God’s love for us, guided by the Holy Spirit through prayer, we will strive to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ by GIVING as we are faithful stewards of our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
Our members and guests have many opportunities to give back to God through worship and service. We maintain a list of service opportunities published on our website, and ask everyone to prayerfully consider your financial commitment to the church. We ask that all members complete a Estimate of Giving card each year.
Financial Gifts
Committed financial support
Our members understand that pledging an estimate of giving provides a way for the church to plan its mission and ministry. A pledge for financial giving also helps our members set a goal and seek to keep it. We ask our members to prayerfully consider filling out a stewardship card and present it to the pastor when joining the church.
Scholarship Endowment Fund
FUMC Allen has established the Scholarship Endowment Fund to assist full-time college and post-graduate students who are accepted into and attending institutions of higher learning, as well as a way to provide church members and friends the opportunity to make charitable gifts to FUMC Allen, that will be a permanent endowment of financial support and a living memorial. Donations made are added to the principal of the fund allowing it to continue to grow and be a permanent source of revenue to fund scholarships. To support this important ministry, you can indicate Scholarship Fund in the memo line on your check made out to FUMC Allen. If you give online, simply select the Scholarship Fund account.
Prayers
Daily prayer: We urge our members to have an active prayer life, not only lifting prayers for their friends and families but also for the mission and ministry of our church. An easy prayer guide is The Upper Room. Printed copies are available in the labyrinth or you can receive free The Upper Room daily devotions via email by signing up at www.upperroom.com. You can also join our prayer chain where you can share your prayer concerns and pray for those on the list.
Presence
Regular attendance at weekly worship: Whenever possible, we encourage members to be present at weekly worship unless they are sick or out of town. We offer two worship services every Sunday at 8:30am and 11:00am.
