August is quickly approaching and we are so grateful to everyone who has been able to continue giving in many different ways; if nothing else, then in being kind. We all need it, especially right now! Your resources make a huge impact; we appreciate the $450 raised in July for the Pastor's Discretionary Fund. Please remember your financial gifts this week. Thanks!

Help Feed Windsor

We have had 2 successful food drives since the pandemic began, filling trunks with needed items and delivering them to the pantry. We will host another from 9-11AM on Thursday July 23. Roger and Cathy will be in front of the church with their trunk open. Please drop off: small bags of flour and sugar, cereal, peanut butter, jelly, toilet paper, other paper products. Any nonperishable food is appreciated, and cash donations are also needed. You may give online or by check to FUMC Windsor, Food Pantry.
