Our 2020 Stewardship Campaign is underway! This years theme is “Gratitude through Giving”. Our logo symbolizes prayer, love and outreach of the church to the world (hands); the presence of Christ and the Holy Spirit in our midst by (the cross and the flame of the UMC ) and the inclusiveness of all people by the rainbow around the cross and flame inspired by FUMC’s rose window.
Four of our long-time members will be featured in video conversations that will be posted here. As you listen to their stories, we urge you to reflect on what you have in common with them, how FUMC has touched and enriched your life and what it means and has meant to you. Please prayerfully consider what gifts you might share, both in service and financially for the 2020 year as a sign of gratitude. Your pledge form should have arrived in the mail and are also available at church. Our pledges of gratitude are due back to the church by November 10th. Thank you.
