This Week@FUMC Allen

September 27 2020

Greetings!

Our activity levels are increasing as we move into our third week of in-person worship. Today's This Week@FUMC Allen has us sharing a bullet list of newsworthy highlights:

On Sunday, September 27, we kick off our Here for Good capital campaign with the introduction of your debt reduction campaign team leaders.
September 17 was Change the World Allen's first time to partidipate in North Texas Giving Day. Rev Jessica Wright has shared with us on that one day, this 501(C)(3) non-profit organization raised $1,400, which is enough to fund one home improvement project. You can still make a donation to Change the World Allen HERE.
The TLC packaging event has moved from the Fellowship Hall to the Youth Assembly area. If you have a college student, you only have a day or so to share with them their name and mailing address for Fall 2020.
Miss Trish and Miss April have some big plans ahead for Faith & Family on October 11 and October 25. Watch our news for details coming soon.
At press time, we have received 280 responses to our Fall 2020 Worship Survey. The survey ends on Sunday so you have until then to submit your responses about worship time and style.
Finally, if you are coming back to church and you've lost your FUMC Allen name tag, Elizabeth Fairchild is taking orders. Replacement name tags are $5 each. Just shoot an email to ElizabethF@fumcallen.org and she'll work out the details with you.

Bishop Mike McKee has required that all participants attending in-person worship in United Methodist Churches in the North Texas Conference must wear a mask during worship except when leading singing or while preaching.

If you do not have a mask upon arrival, we will provide one for you.

Morning Watch is a Level RED event.
