The Art of Hospitality Recordings

Exceptional hospitality has the potential to transform our church and, in the process, the lives of everyone we reach. It creates memorable moments that enable people to experience God’s love through us – to feel a sense of welcome that draws them into faith.

FUMCWA Affiliation with UMC Decision

Furthermore, the Church Council continues to pray for discernment of the 2024 General Conference and the Council of Bishops for the future of the United Methodist Church.
