CHARGE CONFERENCE

Everyone is welcome, and members of the Administrative Board are expected to be at our CHARGE CONFERENCE on Thursday, November 16, at 6:30 p.m. in Roebuck Chapel. The Charge Conference is the annual connectional meeting of our church, but it is also a celebration of our relationship to the larger denomination and a worship time to hear a good word from our District Superintendent, Dr. Blake Bradford. This is the first in-person Charge Conference we have had at our church since COVID, so let’s have a good crowd and celebrate our United Methodist connection! (Blake also takes a picture and posts it, so we want to look good for Facebook, too! :)

It’s that time of year once again, ANGEL TREE! Our trees are up and tags are out, so be sure to stop by the Narthex and grab some tags. FSFUMC Angel Tree in partnership with Family Alliance seeks to provide children in foster care with Christmas. Each year our congregation shows up for these kids in BIG and MIGHTY ways! Let’s continue that this year. Unwrapped​ presents are due back by December 8th. You can place them under the trees on Sunday morning or drop them in the church office during the week. If you aren’t able to grab a tag this year, but would still like to contribute. We are accepting donations to help finish purchasing gifts. Be sure to mark your gift as Angel Tree!
