Friends and families of Federal Way United Methodist Church, 

After two weeks of adding in person worship we are learning and celebrating many things. First, many of our folks, especially people who are high risk or children under the age of 12 are worshipping with us from home. It’s fantastic that our online ministry continues to thrive! Thank you so much for continuing to find new and creative ways to engage in our growing faith community. If you want to join us in-person, please take a moment to pre-register online, once we verify your vaccination card once, you won’t need to show it again. What’s also fantastic is that everyone is doing a great job maintaining physical distance and wearing their masks. Thank you so much!

Pledge cards (Generosity cards) are coming in through our website. We are also having folks email generousfwumc@gmail.com. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the ways you are helping our leadership at our church properly forecast our budget for 2022 in faith. If you want help setting up your online account through fwumc.org, please contact the church office. 

We have many very exciting happening things happening on November 7th. In addition to online and in person worship, we will be celebrating the sacrament of communion. There is something sacred about our community gathering online and in person. We will also be celebrating All Saints day. If you have a name of a loved one that you would like read during the service, please email DJ@revdj.com. Each name will be read and a tolling of a bell rung. On top of all these wonderful happenings, we will also be celebrating that our church is debt free in 2021!. Thanks to you generosity, we have paid off our mortgage and will return thanks to God and our generous givers. One fun thing we will do is to tear a ceremonial mortgage to celebrate together. Don’t worry, it isn’t real, just symbolic. 

I am looking forward to seeing you all soon. Please know that I am keeping you all in my prayers.

Thank you,

Rev.DJ
