There will be an “Angel Tree” set up in the Gathering Area from Sun., Oct. 16-Sun., Nov. 6, where anyone may pick a tag from the tree and follow the instructions available by the tree. Thank you for all you do to support this important ministry! Questions? Contact Becky Koch, Director of Family Ministry at becky@downtownfumc.com
