Stop Hunger Now
On February 28, 2015, our youth will be participating in a Stop Hunger Now packing event at The Gathering, a youth conference hosted by the MS Conference of the UMC. Stop Hunger Now packages and ships meals to feed people in need around the world. On Sunday, February 22nd, we will be collecting a special offering to help cover the cost of delivering those meals. If you would like to make a donation, please make your checks payable to FUMCLB and include Stop Hunger Now on the memo line of your check.

Community Groups
We believe that life is best lived when it is lived together in Authentic Community. To help us in that area, we will soon be starting our spring Community Groups. If you are interested in hosting a group or facilitating a group, please see Amy Haulsee for more information or email her at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Youth Fundraisers
The Youth are planning some exciting activities next year. We will be traveling to Jackson in early spring to attend "The Gathering," a youth conference hosted by the youth council of our MS Conference of the UMC. This will be a great weekend of worship and fellowship with other youth groups from around the State. Also, next summer, we will be attending "Bigstuf" in Panama City, Florida in June. We will have a great week of worship and fun. You can help us with funding for these and other activities by picking up an envelope in the Narthex. The envelopes are numbered 1-100. We ask that your donation be the amount of the number on your envelope. Please make checks payable to FUMCLB and include Youth Special Fund on the memo line. Thank you for your continued support. To date, we have raised $2,444 toward our trips.
