SUMMARY:Interfaith Action Overnight Shelter
DESCRIPTION:FUMC will be hosting the Interfaith Action Emergency Shelter for 3 weeks from 12/25/22 to 1/15/23 as one of 9 faith communities involved this year. \n\nInterfaith Action provides the 2 paid staff members each night as well as volunteers.  Our congregation needs volunteers to serve as “hosts” for each morning and evening during our 3 weeks.  The morning shift is from 6-7 AM and involves helping the staff and volunteers with clean-up as the guests exit the building.  The PM shift is from 7:55-9:30 PM when our host will let the staff/volunteers into the building starting at 8 PM and help with set-up as guests arrive starting at 9.  The City is once again requiring that all participants be masked. \n\nIf you haven’t volunteered for the Interfaith Shelter in past years\, please know that there are not a lot of demands on our hosts given the staffing provided by Interfaith.  Please consider giving some time for this important effort by taking one or more slots on the Sign-Up Genius which can be found here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0D4AACAE2AA75-fumc.   And please contact Craig Chambers at cdc7976@gmail.com with any questions.  Craig will be in touch with volunteers to provide further details and will be happy to give quick training to anyone who needs an initial overview or refresher. (With the emphasis on QUICK because there truly is not much to it!) \n\nThank you!!

SUMMARY:Online Discussion of "Holy Love" - All welcome
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to a three-session online conversation on the book Holy Love: A Biblical Theology for Human Sexuality by Steve Harper. The discussion is scheduled for Thursdays\, January 5\, 12 & 19\, 1:00-2:00pm via Zoom and will be led by Blaine Rader. \nHoly Love is the January book selection of the First Church Progressive Christianity reading group. Harper\, a retired UMC elder of the Florida Conference\, served as a seminary professor for over thirty years and will join the final discussion session on January 19. \nIn Holy Love Harper works to articulate the teachings of the Bible and Wesleyan tradition on human sexuality. Described as “very accessible\,” this book is for persons who wish to understand the Bible’s teaching on sexuality as a vital component of human life\, experience and relationships. The book makes the case that biblical\, Christian teaching is compatible with faithful\, covenantal love and intimacy amidst all sexual orientations. \nInterested? Email Dennis Moore at djmoore1941@gmail.com for the Zoom link. A copy of the book may be borrowed from the church office.

SUMMARY:Online Discussion of "Holy Love" - All Welcome
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to a three-session online conversation on the book Holy Love: A Biblical Theology for Human Sexuality by Steve Harper. The discussion is scheduled for Thursdays\, January 5\, 12 & 19\, 1:00-2:00pm via Zoom. \nHoly Love is the January book selection of the First Church Progressive Christianity reading group. Harper\, a retired UMC elder of the Florida Conference\, served as a seminary professor for over thirty years and will join the final discussion session on January 19. \nIn Holy Love Harper works to articulate the teachings of the Bible and Wesleyan tradition on human sexuality. Described as “very accessible\,” this book is for persons who wish to understand the Bible’s teaching on sexuality as a vital component of human life\, experience and relationships. The book makes the case that biblical\, Christian teaching is compatible with faithful\, covenantal love and intimacy amidst all sexual orientations. \nInterested? Email Dennis Moore at djmoore1941@gmail.com for the Zoom link. A copy of the book may be borrowed from the church office.
