A Note from the Pastor
Help Celebrate the Class of 2020
|
|
Greetings, Church,
As you might imagine, this has not been the spring semester our high school seniors envisioned. Not a one of them left the Friday before spring break thinking that would be the last time they set foot on campus. I believe this is a time they need to know their church family loves and supports them.
One way we can show them support is by offering scholarships for their post-high school studies. Every year we take up an offering where all the proceeds go to seniors. We want to continue that tradition, especially in this most unprecedented year.
To give to the scholarships, you can send a check to the church or go to
fumcmidlo.org
and click on “Giving”. Whichever method you choose, just make a note that it is for “Senior Scholarships.” Thank you for helping our seniors know they are loved in this season.
Pastor Brady

2020 Scholarship Application Process
|
|
Since 2007, we have awarded more than
$8,000
in scholarships to FUMC seniors. The scholarships have been funded through the generosity of our congregation.
Graduates applying for these scholarships are asked to complete an application detailing their church, community, and service activities. They also write an essay answering the question,
"How has your life been changed by Jesus Christ?"
or
"How have you seen the lives of others changed through Jesus Christ?"
Scholarship winners will be selected by a committee of educators and church leaders and announced in conjunction with other recognition activities we are planning. Our goal is to award as many scholarships as God gives us the funds to allow.
For more information about scholarship requirements, contact Laurie Lundberg at 972-877-8838 or
laurie.lundberg@att.net
.
Scholarship applications may be downloaded to complete by hand or completed online using the buttons below.

Week 4 of "The Discipline of Joy"
Philippians 3

I wonder what things we look to bring us joy?
I wonder if those things can bear the burden of satisfying our need for joy?
I wonder what might be able to bear the burden?
