Extending Love in Action

10/6/2020

Fall is Time to Extend

The first official day of autumn was this week, and I bought my first box of pumpkin spice coffee... so it must be rolling around to the season of gratitude and generosity! Since everything seems different in 2020, we're offering a new take on the old themes and asking you to EXTEND the love, grace, joy, and thanks already within you. Please join us this Sunday at 10:30AM in-person (with Covid-precautions) or online at the YouTube link below to learn some practical ways to to be healed and grow stronger, as we heal and strengthen our families, community, church and world.
We'll continue Virtual Fellowship Hour at 11:30AM after worship - just click that link to join us, and thanks to all of you who have given that a try!

Blessings for expansive love, Pastor Emily

FUMC's Very Own Hero!
Although numbers of cases and patients had declined in Colorado there was a need for doctors in Phoenix, AZ. One of our members, Dr. Gregory Golden stepped in when help was needed. We are all so thankful for the sacrifices he and his wife Heather and their 3 children made to be of service to others. Click the image to read the Trib article.
