Year of Service
"I will bless you... so that you will be a blessing."
Genesis 12:2
June Church-Wide Study
Join Pastor Clayton and Pastor Josh as we continue the spirit of the Year of Service with a study of Bob Goff's book Love Does, a look at going beyond thoughts and feeling to shamelessly show love and grace to those around us.
No cost, but participants should obtain a copy of the book. Registration is requested.
Love All. Serve All.

It's part of our mission and in our DNA:
SERVE WITH CHRIST
We're excited to embark on a church-wide initiative, challenging each of us to explore what it means to serve in new and different ways at home, at work or school, in church, and in the community.
The Year of Service will encourage us to be intentional about looking past ourselves and joining with others to make a great impact, and we want you to join us!

Daily "Art Time" with Serving in Mind
Jaime Lyons
April 23, 2020
During these scary and uncertain times, I was trying to think of a way we could do something to serve. It’s obviously hard to do while being confined to the home, but our minds kept going to the healthcare workers who are working tirelessly on the front lines battling this new and scary virus and also to the senior citizens living in nursing homes who are no longer allowed visitors and must be feeling so lonely.

A Culture of Service

The physical allure of this place isn’t why my family and I have decided to make FUMCR our church home. It’s because someone saved me a seat in choir rehearsal when I was brand new and didn’t know anyone. It’s because a Sunday school teacher made an extra effort to get to know my kids so they felt more comfortable going to a new classroom. It’s because a greeter in the balcony remembered our names and told us how happy she was to see us again. It’s because the communion servers look my kids in the eyes and tell them “Jesus loves them.”
