Join us for our annual Family Christmas Party for friends of Fox Hill Preschool, Faith UMC, and Roots of Faith. All ages are welcome. We’ll celebrate with crafts, games, snacks, a special child-friendly service project and a visit by Santa!
Our service project will be assembling small goody bags to attach to the approximately 250 Angel Tree gifts being given to area children and teens through the Deborah Jones/Roots of Faith Angel Tree and the participants in The Neighborhood Table’s holiday celebration. Come to help fill the bags during the party by stopping by the service project tables to fill one bag or a bunch of them!

Kathleen Stanley has been named the first Executive Director of Roots of Faith! Kathleen brings a wealth of experience, as well as deep, established relationships to her new role. Knowing the community will benefit from her leadership, Faith UMC’s Leadership Board is thrilled to celebrate this milestone and Kathleen’s work among us. Please join us in congratulating her!
Roots of Faith began ten years ago as a ministry of Faith UMC. Through a process of discernment and prayer, and lots of hard work by our staff and volunteers, Roots of Faith is now on track to become its own non-profit corporation within the next few months. As we continue to move through that transition, Faith UMC remains committed to participating alongside Roots of Faith in the life-giving ministry happening. We also look forward to this new day and the blossoming of a dream. God is good!
