Love and Be Loved
How much do you love God? What standard do you use to gauge that love? Is it how often you think of Him? How often you pray? How many Sundays a month you come to worship? What if there was an objective standard that could help you evaluate the level of your love for God? There is! This week we will look at our love for God and even better, His love for us! Looking forward to being basked in God's love with you this week.

October 25th - Water Walk
Expand
Did you know:
• 844 million people live without clean water. 2.3 billion people do not have access to basic sanitation.
• Every 60 seconds a child dies from a preventable waterborne disease.
• Children miss 443 million days of school each year fetching water and fighting illness.*

This year will be different than in the past AND let’s make it the best! Let’s challenge each other and those in our families to walk, walk, walk. How many miles can you walk in an hour?

We need you to:
→ Download a pedometer for your phone (if you don’t already have one) in the month of October, until October 25th.
→ Ask friends and family to pledge a monetary amount per mile or an amount for your total miles walked
→ (This one's optional!) Wear a Water Walk shirt or a Church shirt and look good while you walk
→ Walk for one hour on October 25th, keep track of the miles and collect the donations

All received donations can be dropped off in the mail slot at the church. Please make checks payable to the church with Lifewater on the memo and we will mail in one donation from all of us.

Let's Get Connected
Expand
The most important way to stay in communication is through our online program, "OnRealm" or the phone version "Connect". It allows you to get information that is only shared inside the church family, get a first look at what is shared on other social media platforms and connect with each other. "Connect" also allows you a secure place to give. Finally, it acts as a virtual church directory! In an emergency, it is where we go first to look for you and how you are doing.

To get information as part of our church community, create an account at https://onrealm.org/FUMCYC.

If you have any questions or have any challenges connecting, contact aprilb@fumcyubacity.com

Communion Sundays

Communion is offered monthly, usually the first Sunday of the month. Communion elements can be requested and will be delivered in the most efficient way. Please notify us two weeks ahead of Communion Sunday so we can do our best to make sure the elements are delivered on time. Each packet has been personally prayed over and blessed by the pastors.

Prayer Requests

Prayer is very important at our church.  Our Pastors and Intercessors welcome the opportunity to include your requests in their prayers.
