BLESSING OF THE BACKPACKS AND DEVICES PARKING LOT STYLE

Thanks to all who came out to the Blessing of the Backpacks and Devices. We hope you all have a great year in school!

Over the Summer months the Last Sunday Breakfast has had a different look. Due to COVID and safety measures we could not continue with our traditional Last Sunday Breakfast. Members of the Chapel Class have continued to prepare a breakfast meal and volunteers from the church have literally taken the food “To the Streets”. The food has been very appreciated by our downtown homeless population. We will “Taking it to the Streets” again on Sunday, August 30. If you would like to volunteer for this mission project please email ethames@fsfumc.org.

We are challenging each family to make 10-15 bags as you are able. Our goal is to make a total of 400+ bags. Are you ready for the challenge?  If you have any questions, please call Elizabeth Thames in the church office, 782-5068 or email ethames@fsfumc.org.
