Missions Month: Southeast Clergy Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels provides nutritious meals at a reasonable cost to residents in Bedford, Bedford Heights, Oakwood Village and Walton Hills, who are unable to shop or prepare adequate meals for themselves. This service enables each person to maintain or resume independent living in their own home. Meals on Wheels is an independent all-volunteer service which relies upon donations from the community, businesses, private donors and client donations for financial support.

75th Anniversary Final Celebration

Today marks our final 75th anniversary celebration! Join us after the worship service for a potluck in the fellowship hall. There are also 75th anniversary commemorative mugs available in the foyer. Please consider making a $5 donation to help offset the cost of the mugs.

First Sunday of the Month Masking

Today is the first Sunday of November, and per our masking policy at FMC, we strongly encourage attendees to wear a mask as an accommodation. There are extra masks available in the foyer for anyone who should need one.  

FMC Fun Run

Mark your calendars! FMC will have a “fun run” after the worship service on Sunday, November 12 at Bedford Reservation. All are welcome to join as we run, walk, and enjoy the outdoors!

Prepare the Way

Join us for an Advent-themed morning of activities during the Sunday school hour on December 3. Designed for ALL AGES, there will be stations for hot cocoa, crafts, stories, a service project, and more! Plan to attend at 10 a.m.! (There will be no regular Sunday school.) For the service project, we will be making Infant Care Kits for Mennonite Central Committee as we prepare to welcome baby Jesus on Christmas! Some supplies will be on hand, and we welcome any additional supplies from this list as we assemble kits:

  • 3 gowns or sleepers (flannel or similar warm, soft material)
  • 3 undershirts or onesies (short or long sleeves)
  • 1 receiving blanket (lightweight fleece or flannel, minimum 30 in x 30 in, larger sizes preferred)
  • 4 large, heavy-duty safety pins
  • 1 large bar mild soap (leave in wrapper)
  • 1 pair of socks
  • 1 cap
