What a great start to July we at FUMC Windsor have had.  It has been great seeing so many faces back for in person worship as well as so many people joining us online.  As we start planning for August, we wanted to let everyone know that we will be switching to a monthly newsletter.  Weekly newsletters will continue for the remainder of July.  With doing this, please make sure you keep an eye on the many other ways we communicate (in service announcements, bulletins, social media post and emails) for updates and announcements.   July 18, 2021 Worship:  The Crowds are Gathering Stream begins at 9:50AM with live music, Worship begins at 10:00AM.
