Each month, Woodridge UMC's Outreach Committee designates an organization, ministry, or mission (or two) to be the recipient of our monthly Outreach Offering. 

July 2025 

Filipino Churches

As a committee, Outreach has looked for opportunities to be of service on many levels – from local to global.  This month we have identified an international outreach with a local connection.  Our July Outreach will be used to support the nine home churches of our Filipino WUMC members.   We have learned that several of their churches did have damage from storms, including the 6 consecutive tropical cyclones that hit in October and November of last year.  The pastor’s home at one needs repair due to termites.  Other needs churches have include fundraising for a van to do outreach and supplies for Sunday school.  Given that we are supporting multiple congregations, our goal is to give $200 to each church.  We will be using $400 from the Burke Estate Funds to kick off these efforts.
