NEW AT FUMC…

  • THANK YOU…Thanks to Pastor Lane and Pastor Brent for their concern and prayers for me when I had my complete shoulder replacement.  I have finally got healed enough that I have started my physical therapy so now I’ll be well before long.  I thank all of my church family for their prayers, concerns, and cards.  I really appreciated everything.  It all helped me get through the 9 weeks of healing.  I was lucky Dick was such a good trooper ad took such good care of me, and kept encouraging me.  Thanks again to everyone.  Lily Sterling
  • THANK YOU…Thank you to all who attended, contributed, or donated to the benefit that was held for me.  A special thank you to the FUN Group, the United Methodist Women, and Eta Lambda Sorority.  I have been overwhelmed by the generosity from so many!  There are too many to name by name but know I am extremely grateful!  I feel so blessed to have the support and love.  Thank you,  Linda Petersen O’Dell
  • THANKSGIVING BASKETS… F.U.N. with God’s help will be heading up First church effort to hand out Thanksgiving Baskets to those in need in the community.  Last year through the generosity of the members of our Church we were able to help several Marion County residents at a cost of around $25 per basket. We hope that God would move you to give what you can afford to provide for one family or more. 
  • SALVATION ARMY BELL RINGING…The bell ringers will begin ringing during Living Windows in Knoxville November 21st and will continue throughout the Christmas season. There is one less week this year between the Thanksgiving and the Christmas season so it is VERY IMPORTANT that we make sure ALL time slots and locations are filled.  You can help again this year in two ways:  1) There are signup sheets and schedules in the Narthex to share your gift of time for those in need this Christmas Season or you may  contact Merna Furney at 641-842-3072 or 641-218-8026.  She keeps the master list and will gladly add your name to the list.   2)  Give generously.  Every penny adds up.
  • PEO GIFT JARS FOR SALE…Bean and chicken noodle soups, pantry grain pancakes, fruited rice, sand art brownies, and new this year, cranberry poppy seed biscuit will be selling after church during the month of November, $5 per jar, for PEO local scholarships, see Kay Jensen.
