Opportunities to Serve

... and be served

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one.
1 Cor. 12: 4-6

Prayer is the one weapon the enemy cannot duplicate or counterfeit.

The FUMC Prayer Ministry Needs You

You are invited to join our Prayer Ministry. For the programs and missions our church is preparing or has in process, we most definitely can use the strength and guidance that prayer can bring. The more that we pray the more of a closeness with the Father our church will have. A clearer discernment and understanding of His will and direction for our church is vital for us in the rest of this year and the remaining future.

It is vital that our church family pray for revival in our church, pray for our church and its leaders, pray for God's continued favor and grace to sustain and guide us, pray for each other and also pray our own guidance giving thanks for what we have already. To place a prayer request, fill out a prayer request form from the card rack on the backside of any pew or from the church office. You can also fill out and submit the on-line prayer request forms on this web site. For more information please contact Yvonne Mullen.

The Tree of Remembrance has now been installed on the wall of our sanctuary narthex. It includes gifts to the building of the sanctuary in amounts of $200 and up for the time frame through 2004. It does not include gifts of hymnals and Bibles; these honorariums are noted in each book given.

The tree has blank leaves and rocks on it for additions, the first of which will take place after the current pledge time frame is completed in March, 2008. The tree is designed for the addition of islands to either side and above the tree and of course rocks at the bottom. These will be added as needed.
