Saturday, November 14,
from 9am-4pm,
is purposely designed with the past in mind so that our members could put their talents on display and share these with the community.
|
It's been 25 years since FUMC has undertaken a bazaar. “The bazaar is an intentional day-long gathering so that people can take their time, fellowship with one another, and come together in a way that has not been attempted in many years.”
The bazaar will feature seven merchandise categories and a Café, with a large number of the items created by hand by FUMC members. We have carefully considered what we could offer for sale to the public based on the wonderful skills of our arts and crafts people and our expert bakers and cooks.

| Advent Study |
|
We will be holding a five week small-group study during Advent based on the book entitled The Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations by Bishop Robert Schnase. During the five weeks we will explore the practices of Radical Hospitality, Passionate Worship, Intentional Faith Development, Risk-taking Mission and Service, and Extravagant Generosity within our church. This is an insightful study that will help us to understand our purpose and mission as disciples of Christ in the world. You can find out more about the Five Practices at http://fivepractices.org

In order to complete five sessions before Christmas,
we will begin on Sunday, Nov 22,
the week before the first Sunday of Advent.
