Spring Gift Card Sale for Youth Missions

You can purchase a gift card for that special person and help support this summer's youth mission trip to Appalachia at the same time! Pick up your order before or after worship on April 27, May 4, and May 11. Place your order any of those days and pick up your cards the following Sunday. The final pickup day will be May 18.
Payment must accompany the order form. You can pay cash or write a check payable to FUMCAH, with “Youth Missions Gift Cards” on the memo line. You may also pay online at fumcah.com/give. For online payments, select “Youth Missions Fund” and write “Gift Cards” on the memo line. Be prepared to show either a screenshot of an expected payment or an email acknowledging payment when you turn in your order form.

Undeck the Church
The Advent Season is Almost Over
As the Holiday season is ending it is also time to take down the Holiday decorations. We need to take down and pack the decorations in boxes and bins, and then take up to the storage area on the 2nd floor. All ages are welcome, the storage bins will be down from upstairs and placed in the Gathering place or distributed to the appropriate area.
Any questions may be directed to Becky Johnson.
Annual Missions Cookie Sale
It's Christmas cookie time! Our annual Missions Cookie Sale will be held on Sunday, December 15th both before and after the service. All proceeds will benefit Sustainable Action International in La Victoire, Haiti.
We are in need of bakers to drop off Christmas cookies on Saturday, December 14th from 10-11am. See our SignUpGenius for additional details.
Comfort Bags for Chicago Survivors' Network
DECEMBER 1: Help Provide Comfort to People Who Have Lost Loved Ones to Gun Violence: All Are Welcome:
On December 1, in the loggia after our worship service, members of FUMCAH will be prayerfully packing 100 comfort bags for family members who have lost a loved one to gun violence.
FUMCAH will fill these bags with items we hope can bring some solace to those suffering from the unimaginable trauma and loss due to gun violence.
We will then pass these bags onto the Chicago Survivors' Network. Members of the Chicago Survivors Network will gift these bags when they visit the close relative of the gunshot victim. Our purpose in creating these bags: To remind the suffering mother, father, brother, uncle, auntie, father, cousin, friend that God is with them. And the FUMCAH congregation stands with them in their pain.
Please join us on Dec 1 after worship for this meaningful ministry.
Deck the Church for Christmas/Holidays!
We would like different groups (Jam, Youth, UW of Faith, Green Team, 4x8 Dinner Groups, Reaching Out Circle, Men's Group, Bible Study Group, Music Circle, Grief Support, Sisters, Reconciling Ministry, or whatever other group) to have an option to choose an area to decorate. Gathering Place, Sanctuary, Loge, Big Xmas Tree for the chancel, Fellowship Hall, The Rock, Chapel, Church Office.
Can We Hear You Now?
The church likes to preach, but we're not so good at listening. We'd like to change that.
