3) Starting Point Class on Sunday 11/14 – Following the morning service (lunch will be served), we are planning a starting point class where we walk thru what we believe as a church, what it means to be a member at FBCUM, and the mission/vision of our church. Attending this class does not obligate you to join the church, but it is the first step for folks who are interested in joining FBCUM. To find out more information and/or to sign up for the class, email the church office at [email protected].

4) Budget and Member Meeting dates/times – Members, please mark your calendar for the upcoming meetings:

• On December 5^th, (after the morning service), there is an optional budget discussion meeting where the elders will walk thru the proposed 2022 budget, review and take questions.
• On December 12^th (after the morning service), we have a members meeting scheduled.

5) Memorizing Romans 8 Together Challenge: Romans 8 is jam-packed with glorious truths about God good for us to dwell on and memorize. As our church works through Romans 8 this Fall (see Sermon Card), we wanted to offer a Scripture memory challenge to our church as a way to hide God’s word in our hearts. Beginning September, we have 13 weeks to memorize all of Romans 8 (which has 39 verses). Find a friend to memorize with or do it with your family! For a helpful tool, check out biblememory.com. If you prefer to go at your own pace, go for it! For those who find it helpful to have a plan, here you go:

6) Book Recommendations – On the Incarnation, by St. Athanasius

7) Giving We encourage you to continue to faithfully give as a way to sustain the gospel ministry at FBCUM and as a means for us to care for those in need as a church family. You can give online or mail in your offering to the church office. Church members who have a benevolence request, please contact the church office at [email protected].

If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
