Peace Tree Lights Form (600 x 200 px).png

It is time to prepare for our Peace Lights Tree to “light up” the FUMC Courtyard for the upcoming Christmas Season.

 

As donors honor those who have reflected the love of Christ. Each $5 donation adds a light to brighten our tree and the lives of others in need.

 

All proceeds from this First Methodist Women project will support local and global missions.

 

Please complete the Donation Form in your bulletin and return to the church office by Dec. 1st .

 

May the beautiful lights of the tree remind us again that we are one in Christ and that He is our guiding light.
