Roseburg First United Methodist Church
The week of January 24
Engage God... Engage One Another... Engage Life!

   
This issue of the Express provides an update for the next week's happenings around Roseburg's First United Methodist Church.  If this weekly newsletter comes as a surprise to you, it's probably because we've added you to the mailing list!  If you don't want to receive the Weekly Express every Thursday, simply scroll to the bottom of the page to use the SafeUnsubscribe option.  Uncheck the Weekly Express and you'll no longer receive it.

The hope, of course, is that you'll stay with us and up to date on all the great things going on in and through this church!

 

Hope you'll join us in worship on Sunday -
