Coffee and Conversation
Please join us in the small kitchen this Sunday, April 30 at 10:15 a.m. The topic will be Success. “Can success separate us from those who could use our help? Can it create a wall between those with and those without? Maybe we are only really successful when we can actually see who could use our help. And maybe when we give to those we see, we are reminded of what we have been given.” Please contact Dar Davis moc.liamg@10sivadrad ta or…

Coffee and Conversation
The next Coffee and Conversation is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. this Sunday, April 16. The topic is “Tomato”. Do you ever find yourself telling a story in a particular way to make yourself look better? Like you emphasize certain details, and you leave other details out. It’s like you twist the story ever so slightly in your favor. For many of us, this impulse is so deep within us, we’ve been doing this for so long, we’re not even aware that…
Healthy Church Team Masking Status Update
Effective this Sunday, April 2nd, Franconia United Methodist Church (FUMC) will begin a mask optional status for worship services.
