Location & Times

Volunteers Of The Month

Sarah Meyer

Sarah serves our church as our volunteer website-administrator and designer. She is responsible for the slick and good-looking web-site we enjoy. She diligently keeps the site current and up-to-date; assists us with our communication and technology needs.

Her family includes her 5 wonderful children she shares with Alex. Family pets are important too. She has a delightful 13 year old dog, Lucy as well as a 10 year old cat, Apollo. They are the best of friends.

Sarah’s first job was as a prize game attendant at age 16 at Kemah Boardwalk in Kemah, Texas. These days, she is running her own Web Design firm, Wyrmhole Innovations. Keep her in mind when you need design work or other technical net services!

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, enjoying nature and vacationing in the mountain, especially Alaska! She us always busy with creative technology projects and continues to hone and develop her programming and design skills.

Sarah is happiest when she can help people solve problems and use the skills God has granted her to support others and serve her community. Her best work is any time of day and tacos are a favorite food.

The accomplishment of which she is most proud is being a mother to her 5 children, (no small task, that). She is equally proud of how her skills in programming and tech have grown over the last 8 years allowing her to be of greater service to her community.

Her life’s journey has led her to travel far. She was born near the ocean in Texas but always felt drawn to the mountains, When she was 16, she experienced God at a church camp which led her pursue a life-long commitment to service of the Lord. She lived in Alaska for a time, enjoying a life in the mountains, (Mt. Denali is breathtaking). Later, Sarah moved to Pennsylvania. She feels that God has gifted her with a love of nature and skills in tech and programming, often bemused by the seemingly odd combination. She is grateful for the opportunities she has had to help others with her gifts.

Please recognize Sarah for her important and valuable contributions she graciously makes to us at FUMC!

What is QCD?

The Required Minimum Distribution is the minimum amount individuals age 73+, must withdraw from their tax-differed retirement accounts (i.e. IRAs). A QCD is a Qualified Charitable Distribution, it is a direct transfer from an IRA account to a qualified charity, of which the church is. The benefit of the QCD is that it is exempt from federal income tax. The amount is not included in your taxable income and can be used to satisfy the requirement of the RMD. Additionally, a QCD may be made at age 70 ½ and older.

Thank You!!

411 hats, gloves, socks, and scarves that you donated to the ARW. Our mitten tree was completely full and there were boxes all around. Many, many children and adults will be warm this winter!

Children's & Youth Project

Children and Youth Ministries will be working on a service project after the 9:30 service on February 8. Join us in the social hall at 10:30 to work on a winter themed craft that will be used to brighten someone’s day. 

FAQ

What should I wear?

Come as you are. Jesus welcomed people just as they were, and we want you to feel that same grace here. Whether you wear jeans or something more dressed up, you’ll fit right in.

What time should I arrive?
For the Sunday services, parking is more crowded so we recommend you arrive 15-20 minutes beforehand so you can have time to walk to the church.
What about parking?
We have four Guest Parking spots in the front of our lot on the Allegheny St side of the church. However our parking spaces are very limited. Most people have to find parking on the street. Be aware of our neighbors’ driveways so they are not blocked.
How long are the services?
Our services generally last one hour. 

We Look Forward To Meeting You!
