Mid-Week Checkpoint

What path are you following in life? Jesus instructs us to follow a path of mutual love. What does that look like?  Our Mid-Week Checkpoint uses scripture, thoughts, questions, and a prayer to help us think through Sunday's sermon. To view this week's checkpoint (July 31), click here.

FFUMC is partnering with Operation InAsMuch and other churches in a city-wide day of serving our community. There are many projects from which to choose, including a food-packing event hosted here at FFUMC on Saturday, August 20, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Visit this Signup Genius link for a full list of opportunities. The food-packing event is at the bottom of the list. If you’ve never done a food-packing event, it’s a lot of fun. Bring the whole family, friends, and neighbors!

Help Support a Ukrainian Family

The FFUMC Serving Team has elected to support a refugee family from Ukraine settling here in the Knoxville area who has lost everything they own to the war with Russia. They need total support until they can get on their feet, including housing, groceries, transportation, translation, and employment as well as professional services such as lawyers, doctors, and realtors. We are currently building a list of FFUMC volunteers to help. Please email Steve Krupski if you would like to serve.

FFUMC Youth is Back!

FFUMC Youth is back in full swing. We meet every Sunday from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m., and beginning August 7, dinner will be provided! If you are interested in supporting our FFUMC Youth by cooking dinner, there is a schedule available on the bulletin board outside Youth Central, or email Zach Slimp, Youth Ministry Coordinator, for more information. Thank you!

Serving the East Knoxville Community

We continue to supply “Blessing Bags” which are distributed to those in need who visit the free medical clinic at Magnolia every Monday. You can help by: 1) donating money for purchasing supplies; 2) providing some of the supplies; and/or 3) fill a gallon-size Ziploc with suggested items (it’s okay if you don’t have all the items). A drop box is available in the main hallway for completed bags. For more information, visit our website here, or contact Ashley Carrera.
