Opportunities to Serve

Family Christmas Eve Project 
On Christmas Eve, those who attend the Family Service receive a take-home faith tool to continue sharing and exploring the Christmas story at home. This year, we’ll add to the nativity block sets that were started last year, but we need your help! Can you help us by decoupaging images to the blocks? Email carrie@fumcgt.org and Carrie or Laura will help you find the perfect way to help with the Family Christmas Eve Project.

Each year, FUMC Georgetown is challenged to donate peanut butter and jelly to Meals on Wheels. This year, the goal is 300 jars each!
