Wednesday Nights start August 12 |

Wednesday Waypoint Kickoff — Destination: Discipleship
|
Wednesday, August 12
Our August 12 Kickoff introduces our discipleship pathway and helps you discover the many ways to connect this semester.
You'll meet ministry leaders, explore Belong Groups and Believe Groups, and find the opportunities that best fit your interests and season of life. Whether you're new to FUMCT or have been here for years, Wednesday Waypoint is your midweek place to reconnect with God, build relationships, and be encouraged for the journey ahead. The Destination: Discipleship event will be your opportunity to learn more about each group.
Join us for dinner beginning at 4:45 p.m. We look forward to seeing you at Wednesday Waypoint — Destination: Discipleship!

This is Charles Tuten.
No, he doesn’t work in the Children’s Department. He is our Finance Director. But like all of our staff, he pitches in wherever he can help.
Did you know his favorite candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups?

We believe every person is created in the image of God, uniquely gifted, and called to participate fully in the life of the Church. Through individualized support, adaptive environments, and caring volunteers, we help children, students, and adults of all abilities experience God's love, grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and use their gifts in service to others.
Mosaic Ministry welcomes individuals with sensory needs, learning differences, neurodivergence, mobility or seating needs, and anyone who benefits from additional support or flexibility during worship and church activities. Working alongside families, we strive to remove barriers and foster a community where every person is welcomed, valued, and empowered—because at FUMCT, there is a place for you. You belong.
You will notice that we have made space at the back of the Sanctuary for our Mosaic Ministry. Welcome and blessings on all who may use it.

| We will soon be removing some pews down front next to the pulpit to make a special place in the Sanctuary for those in a wheelchair or those who simply need more space to get comfortable. Welcome and blessing on all who may use it.

Little Lambs Fall/Winter Sale |
The Little Lambs Sale is a large, community wide semiannual consignment sale sponsored by FUMCT. It is completely operated by church members and community volunteers. We offer gently-used children’s clothing up to size 14, baby items (such as strollers, swings, and high chairs), nursery furniture, toys and books.
We would love to have our church family help us execute this amazing week where thousands of local families will come through our doors.
If you are interested in learning more about how you can help the Little Lambs sale, or how you can volunteer in large or small ways, please email us at littlelambstuscaloosa@gmail.com.
