Operación Abrigo Mission Trip

We will be going on a mission trip to serve with Operación Abrigo this November!  Operación Abrigo is an ecumenical ministry that brings together three decades of ministry serving the people of Juarez, Mexico. Over the past 30-years, they have built thousands of cinder-block homes, five churches, a medical clinic, and a community center for families living on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez.
 
The trip will be November 6th-9th. Cost for lodging and supplies is $180, and participants will need to purchase their own airfare to Juarez.  Click here to register!
 
Have thoughts or questions? Email Pastor Courtney.

Blessed Journey

Blessed Journey is a group of adults that began gathering a few years ago to share, learn and help each other navigate the different phases of early adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood and the physical, emotional and spiritual changes we may come upon. Through guest speakers, podcasts, videos, short book studies, etc., we explore the different ways to plan, communicate, support each other to make this a Blessed Journey, for you, your family and friends.

Join us on Tuesday, September 16th at 10:00 at FUMC (room to be determined) as we gather back together to look at the year ahead.

Contact Roger Smidt for info.
