SPECIAL MONTHLY MISSIONS
At the end of every year our Mission Committee selects a special mission to sponsor for each calendar month, for the following year. Each mission strengthens our community and our love for one another. Please remember to make note of which mission you wish your offering to be appllied to, on your check or offering envelope. Thank you for your continued support.
November: Salvation Army of Miles City
The Mission Committee of FPC learned that the Shop with a Cop program has been cancelled for this year. Therefore, they requested Session change our November special offering designee to the Salvation Army of Miles City.
The Salvation Army of Miles City helps to support residents of Miles City and immediate residents of Custer County, as well as some transient people. The SA helps with rent (once a year – residents only), utilities, fuel for transportation, hotel vouchers, and food vouchers. Some of these services are administered by our local Southeastern Montana Dispatch Team.
​
Additionally, the Salvation Army of Miles City has a day they take local school children – who qualify for the reduced lunch program – Christmas shopping. This special Children’s Christmas Shopping Day is set for December 6, 2025, from 9AM – 11AM. The money received in our November Special Offering will be given to the Salvation Army of Miles City for their special children’s shopping day. If you wish to donate outside of the church, please ensure your check is written to the Salvation Army of Miles City to ensure all money remains local.
You may also choose to support the local Salvation Army by volunteering to be a bell ringer. If you are interested, please let Pastor Jamie know and she will ensure you get connected with the right people.
Thanks in advance for your giving!
