It's that time again...

...It's THAT time again @ FUMC... As the holiday season is SO rapidly approaching, I wanted to give you all a quick heads up!

SUNDAY December 2nd: HAM DINNER
Once again we are having our annual ham dinner fundraiser in the fellowship hall. YOUTH- this counts as Resurrection Credit!!!!! ADULTS- Tell your friends and family members to come join us for ham, sweet potato casserole, homemade desserts, cole sale, green beans, deviled eggs, and rolls. This meal has NO cost associated; we are only asking that participants donate what they can. The meal starts at 10:30 and we will be serving through 1:00. If needed we DO have take-out plates! 

FRIDAY December 7th: Galax Christmas Parade
Chris is in the process of trying to put together a float for the Christmas Parade. Stay tuned for more information as this develops.

SUNDAY December 16th: Christmas Production
YOUTH- Sara still needs volunteers to help make the annual 5 Steps to the Nativity production possible. If you would be interested in participating see her ASAP!! Your participation, in the production and practices, counts towards community service credits for Resurrection.

Youth: Make sure that you get in touch with Chris to check up on your status for Resurrection. Please remember, for every credit you DON'T fulfill comes with a cost of $10.00. 

Resurrection Parents: Normally, the church provides each youth with $10 per meal that isn't provided through our trip. This comes to a total of $30 per youth. In an effort to help ease our financial strain, we are giving each parent the option of providing their child with this $30. Our plan is to supply each child with this money UNLESS you contact Chris before we leave on January 18th. We ask that if you CAN pay for your child's meal you give $30 to Chris so that when money is given out no one feels singled out.

If you have any questions, get in touch with Chris! :)
