Your Mission $$$ at Work – 2019
FUMCD Missions Committee identified and set an annual dedicated budget of $30,440 for 2019.

All these funds have been distributed
except for on-going work with DOM, PIP, Open Table and Central Elementary. We anticipate disbursing all budgeted funds by year-end.
In addition , sent one-time donations to aid missionaries in South Africa and Japan, as well as disaster relief efforts for Mozambique and the Bahamas (both through UMCOR).
Monthly communion rail offerings total $13,049 to date and benefit: Meals on Wheels, Golden Cross, Covenant Gardens, FUMCD Children’s Ministry, FUMCD Youth Ministry, Lydia Patterson Institute, PIP, Central Elementary, Happy Feet & World Communion. Still to come are DOM (November) and Pastor’s Benevolence Fund (December).
Thank you, Church!

Spiritual Renewal Group
Every Monday at 6 p.m. a spiritual renewal group meets in the Pat Daniel Conference Room. Group members will come together and take turns answering the same few questions each week (such as, “Share your week briefly from a spiritual respect.”) At the end of each meeting, we will pray for one another. The process will serve help us grow together as a community and encourage us as individuals to think about our daily lives from a spiritual perspective.
The group will meets for approximately one hour. Due to the nature of the group, participation is capped at around 10 people. Please contact bridget@fumcd.com
if you would like to be a part of the Monday evening group.
