Dear Church Family and Friends,

Can you believe that this weekend, we will be celebrating the 4th Sunday of Advent? This weekend, our focus shifts to Jesus mother Mary. We will take a closer look at Mary’s song of praise (Magnificat). Her response to the life altering news of her pregnancy is to praise God. One of the questions I’d love for your reflect before our service is this, “What is your song this advent season?”

For those who haven't yet obtained a daily devotional booklet for this series, please feel free to reach out to our church office at office@fwumc.org, or simply visit us at church. We'll be more than happy to provide you with a copy.
We're deeply grateful to our partners at Sanctified Arts for their invaluable contribution and creation of this series.

Wishing you grace and peace,

Pastor DJ

Christmas Eve offering

Our Christmas Eve offering will be shared between three ways we share the love of Jesus in our communities.

1. Riverton Park UMC’s ministry for Asylum seekers.

   1.      Riverton Park United Methodist Church in Tukwila is living out Jesus’ call to care for God’s children: a ministry of hospitality for more than 500 asylum seekers, including 100+ children, who are living on the church grounds. Many are from Angola in Africa and Venezuela in South America.

      1. I spent a couple of days recently with the people living at Riverton Park UMC and it’s truly an amazing sight.

   2. Abundant Grace ministries

      1. This is a chance to help our faith community continue to reach out to our neighbors.

   3. Sunshine Fund

      1. When people come to our doors and ask for help with utilities, our church does our best to support them with this special line item we call the Sunshine Fund.
