HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Board Requests Holiday Remembrances for the FUUSM Staff

The FUUSM Board of Trustees is accepting contributions for the holiday season in order to give gifts to our staff. Throughout the year, they often go above the call of duty to insure that our church runs smoothly, and with these donations we can show our appreciation for their dedication. Please join us in pursuing this way of saying, "Thank you for being there" to our wonderful staff. You may put checks or money in the offering plate marked as" for staff gifts. While we would like to finalize this by December 18, we are more than willing to accept money for this at any time. 

We appreciate your generosity.   -  The FUUSM Board
