Decorate for Advent
We plan to decorate the church for Advent on Saturday, Dec. 2nd, starting at 9:00am. (NOTE: This is NOT Thanksgiving weekend since Advent starts later this year.) If we have enough volunteers, we will hang greenery along the side walls, hang our wreaths and put up our Chrismon tree. There will be ladders, but no moving and stacking of chairs or the high scaffolding up to the ceiling. We’ll also put up our Giving Tree in the narthex.
We would love a bit of help in doing this, so if you can come, please do so. Questions? Contact Donna S
November is Pledge Drive Month
November is pledge drive month at Fairwood Community UMC. Letters and pledge cards were mailed the last week of October. We ask that you prayerfully consider the amount you wish to give to your church for 2024. A similar amount to 2023 will be needed to support our mission work; therefore, our goal is $380,000.
11/19/23 update
37 responses and $150,120 pledged to our 2024 budget
Extra copies of the pledge cards are available in the narthex (as you enter the sanctuary).

Renton Salvation Army Food Bank Collection
This year to support the Renton Salvation Army Food Bank, we are again collecting food cards and monetary donations. We will also accept non-perishable food items, but the RSA asked for gift cards from Fred Meyer or Safeway, or monetary donations.
Gift cards and food items to support Thanksgiving should be placed in the blue cart in the entryway at church by 12:00 noon on Tuesday November 21, but donations are always welcome during the year.
Thank you for helping provide a special holiday for local families in need!
