- Sunday Worship at Retreat: Next Sunday, August 17 we will gather at Friendship Retreat in Geauga County for our worship service at 11:00am. There will not be worship in the building or online. Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on during the service. Following the service, we will share lunch together. You can either bring something to share for the potluck or bring your own picnic. Please be sure to bring your own plate, silverware, water bottle, etc. Directions to the retreat property can be found on our website.
- Sunday School Seminars: Sunday, September 14, Darius Meraj from Everence will lead an estate planning workshop during Sunday school. Sunday, September 21, Paul Thomas from Ferfolia Funeral Homes will lead a funeral pre-planning seminar during Sunday school.
- Retreat Anniversary: This summer, our retreat property in Geauga County will celebrate its 60th anniversary!
- FMC Conference Affiliation: FMC is now officially affiliated with Allegheny Mennonite Conference. Last weekend, their delegates affirmed our membership with overwhelming support and enthusiasm. If anyone is interested in attending next year’s Celebration weekend (always the first weekend in August), or serving as one of our 7 delegates, please contact Pastor Alvis.
- Youth Activities Invite: It’s no secret that the youth and children of FMC are actively involved in tons of extra-curricular activities. As a way of supporting our youth and children outside of church, we invite students and their families to notify Pastor Alvis of a few of the extra-curricular events that they would like members of the congregation to be able to attend (games, concerts, plays, etc.). Families should send the dates/times/locations of a few of these events to Pastor Alvis so that he can put together a schedule to share (strictly) within the congregation.
