We are preparing a taste-tempting cookbook featuring favorite recipes from members of our church and community. It will be a compilation of past FUMC cookbooks and new recipes. We would like you to submit 2 or 3 of your favorite recipes so you can be represented in this commemorative collection. The cookbook will be printed in an
easy-to-read format and bound.  We will also have digital versions available.
Proceeds from our cookbook sales will help fund our Fall Church picnic, the History Room and other projects around the church. 
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS JULY 26, 2015 Submit to Church Office (attn. Mark Winsor)

2015 Mission Trip to Pahokee, FL

On Monday we worked at a local food pantry and put together food for 150 families; fresh fruit, vegetables, breads & meat. The youth learned a valuable lesson about the importance of not wasting food. Unfortunately we had to throw away a lot of spoiled fruits and veggies. A farmer did come however to take that food for his hogs. Quite an eye opener. We also visited a memory care unit and got to hear beautiful gospel singing from the clients. The kids were in awe. 

 

Tuesday we were at the Lighthouse Caf� in Belle Glade at 7am serving breakfast. We then did a couple of clean up projects around their operation and finally served lunch. We did have a visit from the pastor of 1st Belle Glade. He prayed with us and encouraged us.

The kids were super flexible with all kinds of time changes. We worked on a huge project on Wednesday working in a home that has no water....Unbelievable in these days and times. We were interviewed today for the plight of this woman and her home. Pahokee News Video (2nd Video; 5:30 News)

At service on Thursday night, Jillian and Avery did a dance for the congregation and Courtney, Kenna, Ruthie, & Allison sang Awesome God. 

 

Everyone loved how great our kids are

An Invitation from Bishop Carter

I would like to invite you to join me as we sail through the Mediterranean following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul through Greece, Turkey and Italy for 13 days in November 2015. I am excited to have Dr. Waite Willis from Florida Southern College join us as our guest teacher. I am inviting pastors, teachers and members of our churches to join us in this profound experience of travel, study, worship and fellowship aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas.

 
I hope you will make this pilgrimage with us!
