Location & Times

Volunteers Of The Month

Marty Lacki

Marty has served our church these last 10 years as Financial Secretary. He has been responsible for collection and counting of weekly offerings. He has recorded contributions in the church database and sent out annual statements. He has participated in annual budget meetings and shared financial information with the congregation.

Marty’s family includes his wife, Andrea and they have 2 children, Casey and Lydia they have a 6 year old Jack Russell-Yorkie mix named Diego, pictured here, cute little fellow, ain’t he?

Marty’s first job at age 15 was stocking grocery shelves. He now works full-time as Assistant Director of financial Aide at American University. He does his best work in the morning. Marty is happiest when he feels God’s presence and all is calm. In his free time, he enjoys playing guitar, exercising and spending time with family. A favorite vacation spot is Cape May, N.J. A favorite food is mozzarella sticks.

Through his 10 years at FUMC, Marty has served under 6 different pastors and several lay ministers. He is proud of the spiritual growth he has seen here at First Church. During his first 5 years, he was proud to have revised the budgetary process, refocused church spending, improved efficiencies through technology and online giving. The next 5 years were marked his helping steward us through COVID, disaffiliation and its consequences. His most important recent goal has been to assist Pastor Jolene in her transition. He is proud of how we have grown, weathered tough times and the personal growth he has experienced along with us.

Marty feels that it is time for him to move on in his service at FUMC and will be resigning as financial director. He tells me that he never intended to be in this position for this long. He will still be an active member of our church and will serve in other capacities that were not available to him as an employee. He thanks everyone whom has served in the business office with him and thanks all the church for the privilege of having their trust and faith in him.

Please recognize Marty this month and thank him for all he does and will do in a different capacity here 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!
