Weekly group discussions of human personality with Reverend Scott
Fellowship is a church word. Rarely heard outside of "church" talk. It has strong roots in the ancient Greek language used to write the bible. We talk about Fellowship Groups and name our second largest room Fellowship Hall. Acts 2:42 describes the first Christians like this: “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” Those items are still on the Church's menu including fellowship because it is vital and nourishing to human life.

Unstoppable
Unstoppable is an United Methodist Women’s event for young women (going into 9th grade through age 25) that will happen at Grove City College, July 10 (starting with supper) through lunch on Sunday, July 13. This event is being organized and planned by young women for young women. The young women who are planning this event attended an event at Duke University called Limitless.
The UMW organization at FUMC is willing to help send young women to this event. These young women are learning the issues, finding their voices and changing the world. For more information, please contact our UMW.
The United Methodist Women's Bible STudies are continuing. The next study is scheduled for Monday, May 12th.
Each monthly study icludes prayer, reflection on Scripture and its application in our lives today. Each month's study is an independent topic and requires no advance preparation. All women of the Church are invited to attend.
