We had over 400 people in attendance, and the Ambassadors and Ushers welcomed our guests to the church, gave directions to the sanctuary, assisted with special needs, and helped people find seats. They were an integral part of our successful event, and we appreciate their service!

UMCOR Kits Our United Methodist Women would like to help FUMC deliver UMCOR Kits to the VA Annual Conference again this year. Recent disasters, such as the tornados in our own state of Virginia, have shown us how important these kits are in times of crisis. The kits are so easy to assemble but provide so much relief to those in need. Kits may be delivered to the Mission Control room (deadline: June 6) or bring a check (made out to FUMW) to purchase a kit and place it in the UMW box in the mail room. A description of these kits may be found on the UMW Bulletin Board (on wall across from the Food Pantry), at the end of the UMW annual Handbook, and on the UMCOR website WWW.UMCOR.org/. Sample kits are now on display in the glass case in the Gathering Space. Questions? Please contact Barbara Williams at
[email protected] or at 540-899.3767.

Mary has been a member here since 2002 ___ Sound Team Dear Church Family: We would like to thank you for the prayer, prayer shawl and church picture that were presented to us during the Contemporary Service our last Sunday at FUMC. It is with great sadness we are leaving the area and our church home. We will cherish the gifts as much as we cherish the gift givers. Arriving in Fredericksburg 18 years ago, we found FUMC via a casual conversation on a park bench with another mother as we sat and watched our toddlers play. As she described her church and the fantastic preschool it housed, her enthusiasm and love of this church was real and sincere. She was the lamp. Once at FUMC, we saw the light. We are grateful for the Pastors, past and present, who have led our congregation in worship. We are grateful for the multitude of church members who volunteer their time as teachers, lay leaders, ushers (specially the 0945 ones), council and committee members, organizers, etc. We are grateful for this congregation. We are thankful God placed that mom in our path all those year ago. What a blessing this church has been to our family.
A very generous donor is challenging FUMC to support our FOOD PANTRY. The donor is offering $15,000 if we can raise $7,500. This means the donor will contribute $2.00 for every $1.00 donated by the congregation.
___ Hospitality/Refreshments
Because of this generosity, the SERVE Team will conduct a fund-raising campaign through the month of June. All donations will support the Food Pantry. Details will be published beginning next week.

Imagine!!! That picture of George Washington on the dollar is really worth $3 to the FUMC Food Pantry. The fabled three-dollar bill can be a reality.
