Join us for this FREE Back-to-School Concert on the steps of the church.
JUMPING BACK INTO ACTIVITIES...
OUR FAVORITE HYMNS...
This summer, as we enjoy being back together for worship in the church, please share some of your favorite hymns -- sacred songs which touch your heart, get your spirit excited, make you feel the presence of God. You might just see them make an appearance in our worship services!
MASKS NO LONGER REQUIRED!
Following the latest CDC guidelines, fully-vaccinated people no longer must wear masks in church.
We ask that you be respectful and continue to socially-distance from others, especially those who are not vaccinated,
or people who are especially vulnerable. And, if you are ill, please stay home and join us online.

FUMC is proud to be the local sponsoring organization for the Blessings in a Backpack
program. This program provides weekend meals during the school year to needy children in
all nine Brookhaven and Lincoln County schools.
With the current pandemic, the need has never been greater to help address food insecurity
for children in our area.
As closures caused by COVID-19 lead to a rise in unemployment and poverty, it is projected
that 18 MILLION children in the U.S. are experiencing food insecurity. That’s one in four
American children who may be struggling with access to food.
The consequences of hunger are much more than a growling stomach. Poor nutrition can
result in a weaker immune system, increased hospitalization, lower IQ, shorter attention
spans, and lower academic achievement. Many children are fed during the school week by
federal school lunch programs. Blessings in a Backpack aims to make sure they’re getting
nutritional meals over weekends and school holidays, too.
It costs $110 per year to provide a full year of weekend and school holiday meals to one
child, but any donation, of any amount, helps provide food where it is needed most.
