With so many changes to our daily routines and schedules it can overwhelming trying to keep track of what has been canceled, postponed, rescheduled, or moved to an online meeting. It is our hope that we will keep our website regularly updated with important church announcements and information about meetings, rehearsals, or other ministry events that are taking place at First UMC over the next few weeks.

Dear FUMC family,
As the Treasurer here at FUMC, I wanted to keep you informed on how things are going with receiving your monetary gifts since our time of distancing" began.
The on-line giving through the church's website has remained stable or slightly more for this month to date. I attribute this to the fact that these contributors give their gifts on a regular basis this way, so it is easy to stay "on routine." However not being able to worship in congregation has really affected our weekly "offering plate" giving with only about 1/4th of our average weekly gifts being received in the last 3 weeks.
Please let me encourage you to use the on-line giving on the church's website, or, if this is not comfortable for you, simply place your gift in the mail to the church's address. It will be received and deposited in the usual manner on receipt to continue the ministries and finances of our church.
Peace and blessings to all.
Beryl Wilkes
Treasurer-FUMC
