Church 2.0 Corner
Service: Feed the Fort! We encourage all small groups and families to find a way to serve this fall through helping with food insecurity in our community. Check out all these great ideas or design your own! Email ethames@fsfumc.org for more info.
Prayer:
Prayer for the Work Day
Almighty God, thank Thee for the job of this day. May we find gladness in all its toil and difficulty, its pleasures and success, and even in its failure and sorrow. We would look always away from ourselves, and behold the glory and the need of the world that we may have the will and the strength to bring the gift of gladness to others; that with them we stand to bear the burden and heat of the day and offer Thee the praise of work well done. Amen.
Charles Lewis Slattery (1867-1930)
Small Groups: Children 1st-4th grade have started take-out church. Club 56 (5th and 6th graders) are meeting Wednesdays and Sundays via zoom. Youth are meeting outside, socially distanced. Adults: many groups are meeting now, too. If you want to join a group or host a group, we have resources including free books! Please email rbkelley@fsfumc.org for more info.
