Monthly Missions - September 2026

Parfreyville UMC

Parfreyville’s September Mission of the Month is UMCOR Storms. UMCOR stands for United Methodist Committee on Relief. All money donated goes directly to relief with none for administrative purposes. UMCOR Sunday money is for administrative purpose. So far in 2026 UMCOR disaster relief has gone to:

Puerto Rico Drought
West Virginia Flooding
Hawaii Storms and flooding
Georgia Wildfires
Kentucky flash flooding
Mississippi Tropical Storm Arthur
Washington Wildfires
Wisconsin Tornado
Texas Flash flooding
Michigan Tornadoes

Needs from disasters aren’t just for the time they occur but recovery continues for years. All donations will go toward UMCOR Storms unless otherwise designated.

Crystal Lake UMC

Crystal Lake will be collecting pasta for the Waupaca Area Foof Pantry in September. There will also be a crop walk when Sunday School is in session.

Agape Fund

Agape—a word derived from Greek origins meaning any kind of selfless love, whether between human beings or between humans and God. The Agape Fund is an ecumenical effort between the churches of St. Mary Magdelene Catholic, St. Mark’s Episcopal, Trinity Lutheran, Scandinavia Lutheran, and our three W.A.R.M. churches. The fund provides emergency assistance to families in need in our area. Assistance is given in the form of one $25 gift card for food at Piggly Wiggly and/or one $25 voucher for gas at Nelson’s Shell station on Churchill St. Assistance for a family or individual is limited to every 6 months. Special offering envelopes for this mission will be provided in the bulletins on September 13th. Checks can be made payable to FUMC and write “Agape” on the memo line or place cash in an offering envelope and label “Agape”. First UMC offerings are added to the W.A.R.M Agape Fund as needed.

Bread Basket

On September 15, we will be preparing food and filling take-out containers for Bread Basket. Our menu consists of ham sandwich, corn, fruit cup and cookies. Bread Basket serves around 200 meals every Tuesday. We have most of our volunteers lined up but could use one more. If interested, contact Jake or Judy Paulson.
