The College Ministry of First United Methodist Church helps us to maintain contact with all of our college students. We have a “College List” which includes students’ names, addresses, E-mail addresses, phone numbers, and birth dates. Similar information is also included for the parents of each student on the “College List.”
The adult Sunday school classes at FUMC adopt college students for as long as the students are in school. The classes pray for their adopted college students and keep in close contact with the students through cards, letter, exam care packages, birthday “happies”, and holiday surprises. The classes periodically mail a copy of “The Upper Room” to each student so that they can have daily devotional material. The classes also invite the students to attend their Sunday school classes when they are at home.
The FUMC College Ministry feels strongly that we need to extend the long arm of Christian love to our college students as they being this very important new phase of their life.
…Preparing God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up, until we all reach unity in the faith… Ephesians 4:12
