November

Pop-Up Food Pantry

November 22, 2025

On the fourth Saturday of each month, FUMC partners with Manna House to provide a pop-up food pantry.  Food is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.  For those interested in volunteering to help run the food pantry, volunteer registration is coming soon!

Stewardship Sunday

November 23, 2025

In November, Pastors Adam and Val reflect on what makes FUMC more than just a church, but a family - where every seat feels like home. This series transitions us into Stewardship season so that we can remember why we give and how our stewardship is an integral part of our faith.
