The Nightmare of Unknown Wisdom

The Nightmare of Unknown Wisdom

How would the world be different if there was no nativity? If Jesus had not come we would still live in the nightmare of sin that had no sacrifice. Jesus wakes us up to the reality of God's abundant life. It mattered for those in the past and it matters for us. This week we will talk about the nightmare of self-defined wisdom. Come wake up from the nightmare and get wisdom matters.

Let's Get Connected

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.<br><br>To get information as part of our church community, create an account at https://onrealm.org/FUMCYC. <br><br>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&nbsp;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.&nbsp;
