Marilyn Good Love Offering

Marilyn has coordinated the logistical needs of staff, congregation members, and countless outside groups using FUMC facilities, enabling us to use the facility as a crucial tool for ministry. All are invited to give a love offering by August 18. Note "Marilyn Good Love Offering" in the memo of your check or online giving.

English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are offered at no cost in our Family Life Center weekly on Monday and Thursdays. Guests can practice their English conversation skills and develop friendships to support them outside the classroom. Although the teachers are volunteers, materials, childcare, utilities for the FLC, and refreshments for the social hours all cost money. Contributions at the altar rail offering during the month of August go to support this quiet but powerful ministry.
