COMMUNITY SERVICES
- Family
Emergency Relief (05/01/10)
-
- FER is an emergency intervention ministry of
Wyoming United Methodist Church and we assist those in deep need, on an
individual basis. The caseworker is available Monday,
Wednesday and
Friday from
9 AM
until 12 noon at 697-8400. Referrals come from our church members and
Social Service agencies in the Dover Area. We help on a one-time basis,
offering furniture, food or financial assistance, and sometimes a
combination. A client is not eligible to be helped again
for 12-24 months, as we are an emergency support organization. There is
ongoing assistance available through state and non-profit agencies and we
refer clients to those agencies as well as other ministries in the area.
FER can always use more VOLUNTEERS
for drivers and helpers for pickup/delivery as well as helpers for
caseworker assistance, furniture tagging, and general organization.
Vacation Bible School

- VBS is offered every June for a week. It is held in the

singing, crafts, games, dramas, Bible stories, and more. More detail is
