ROBINSON
FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
OUTREACH MINISTRY
Robinson FUMC engages in many ministries that reach out to our community.
Nutrition On Weekends, N.O.W, Program
The NOW Program began in January 2013 as a response to a growing population of at-risk children in the Robinson School District. Our three-pronged approach allows students (who are identified by school staff) to receive meals on weekends throughout the school year, lunches three times per week in the summer, and a strong start to the school year with our Back-to-School Shopping Days. We are always looking for volunteers and would love to have you. To learn more, visit the NOW Program Facebook Page. To volunteer or receive more information, contact the church office at 618-544-8016 or firstumcrob@gmail.com.

Radio Broadcast
One of our most enduring outreach programs is our Sunday morning airing of our church service from our local radio station, WTYE 101.7 FM at 9:00 am. For our local and not so local shut-ins, it can be a blessing to be able to listen to a church service when not physically able to attend. On more than one occasion I have been surprised to hear folks from other communities, such as Lawrenceville, say they listen to our church broadcast.
For those who’ve never heard the word of God, or those not affiliated with a church it’s a wonderful service provided by FUMC. We may never know how many have been or will be touched by listening to our Sunday morning broadcast, in the privacy of their homes or while driving in their cars. For years FUMC has provided this service.
The cost of the broadcast is $100. If no one has sponsored on a particular Sunday, the church provides. Since there are 52 Sundays in a year, perhaps we can get 52 of our church members to commit to a Sunday of their choice. Remember, you can dedicate a broadcast in someone's honor or memory, for a birthday, anniversary, etc.
There is a sign up outside of the office or call Kirbie to reserve your Sunday today.
