Food Sunday
On the first Sunday of each month, please bring a food item with you to worship or drop it off during office hours on Monday-Thursday.


Roll Down, Justice! (Lent)
Lent is a time of reminding ourselves who we are called to be in this world. Our Lenten series is inspired by Amos, a prophet whose message is that God calls us to let “justice roll down like waters.”

90 Cards for Steve Berry's 90 Years!
Help us celebrate the 90th birthday of Steve Berry, longtime member of FUMCAH. We are hoping to organize the delivery of 90 birthday cards from longtime friends, former colleagues, and all who cherish him. He currently spends half his time in Arizona and half his time in Galena and is doing very well, but he'd love to read a note about how you are doing, what is new and exciting, a memory you have, or a simple birthday greeting.
A collection box is on the porch of his former residence, 2009 E Fremont Ct. We are hoping to collect 90 cards by the morning of October 2 (his birthday) to hand deliver when we see him that evening. Help us make this a birthday he will remember and hold dear!
Many thanks, Ryan and April Berry
Mailing address for cards:
