We Are Composting
Fairwood Community United Methodist Church is stepping up our efforts to take
care of our earth!
Our green composting containers (a 23-gallon container in the parlor of Benedict
Hall and a few green wastebaskets) with compostable bag liners are here. Please
put your food waste, food-soiled paper and approved compostable products into
these green containers. We have a second outside tote to accommodate extra
compostable materials.
Please note that not everything labeled as “compostable” is accepted by Cedar
Grove. Generally accepted items are here: CedarGrove-flyer-Compostables-Accepted-

With your help, we can take better care of our earth!

Mission Opportunity - Rice Donations Needed
During the month of March, we will be collecting 2 – 5 pound bags of white rice to
deliver to Riverton Park United Methodist Church. Each month we will add to our
monetary donation with an item that they are regularly in need of, as they work to
support those staying at their church. Drop off your donation in the box in the
narthex.
Thanks in advance for your participation in our support of our sister congregation.
Thank you, also, Dianne and Mike, for volunteering to deliver our donation each
month!
We've Been Cleaning!
Carol and Cathy have sorted through items we’ve used in Sunday School or other
activities at FCUMC. Thank you to all who have donated these items over the years.
They were well-loved. However, to find more gathering space for meetings, we’ve
cleaned and organized two former classrooms.
Stop by M-2 (the room next to the sanctuary, across from the office) to see if there are items that you’d like to “rehome!” We especially encourage early childhood
teachers and parents of young children to check out the items.
Our preschool, Sunday school teachers and nursery attendant have already had
the opportunity to take the items… and now it’s YOUR time!
Fireside Chat with John and Jewel Andrew April 11th 10am
Everyone is invited to join us in a “Fireside Chat” with John & Jewel Andrew on
Thursday, April 11th at 10:00am. We will gather in the Parlor.
John has written a book about his career and if you have not received one, he will
give you one at our meeting. John will talk about some of his career high-lights
with Boeing and we will have a question and answer segment.
John and Jewel have been members of Fairwood Community United Methodist
Church for decades and have been instrumental in growing our facilities and
providing us with care and love in many ways. Refreshments, an introduction and
a prayer will be provided.
