We are excited to welcome...
As Kelly S. takes a step back to care for her family, we are pleased to welcome Meghan Kala as our new nursery coordinator!
"I am happy to be joining the FUMC staff as your new nursery coordinator! I have called Fredericksburg my home since I graduated from the University of Mary Washington in 2005. As a longtime member of FUMC, I have been blessed to serve alongside our children in Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and of course, our nursery! I have one daughter, my five-year-old Natalie, who keeps me on my toes every second of the day. Natalie and I love being a part of the ministry of FUMC together, and I look forward to continuing to serve our little ones! We have a great nursery staff full of energetic and friendly caregivers, so come on down and say hello! "
You can reach her at the same nursery@fumcva.org email address with any questions or concerns.
If she looks a lot like Jillian Murray, it's because they are twins!
