God (Elf) on the Shelf: When to Put Things Away
It is natural to want to feel like we are doing the right thing and that we belong. Societal pressure is real. We don't want to be judged, so we try to hide our actions. But what happens if there is an Elf on the Shelf that messes with our plan and somehow rats us out? Today we are going to see how we can’t just hide the Elf, but we don’t need to.) God sees our sin and doesn’t condemn but welcomes us to eternal love! Come feel the love, Pastor Lois

💌 Let's Get Connected
Expand
The most important way to stay in communication is through our online program, "OnRealm" or the phone app version "Connect". It will allow 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 miriams@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 order 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.
