Psalm 127:3 “Babies are a gift from God. They are a reward from Him.” The congregation is very excited for Danny and Anastasia as they plan for the birth of their twin girls in October. To help them prepare, FUMC will hold a baby shower on August 29, 2021 in the pavilion right after the 10:15 service. Light refreshments will be served.
To reduce the number of duplicate gifts, we have several ways that you can celebrate with Danny and Anastasia.
- Give the gift of literacy by getting the twins one of your favorite children’s books.
- Gift cards: Amazon, Target, Carter’s, DoorDash, Panera, Chipotle, and Chick-Fil-A, Costco, and Chewy.com were a few suggestions from Danny, but he was open to other ideas as well.
- TBD: Diapers (in a variety of sizes) and wipes
- A gift from the registry, a great option if you want to team up for a group gift. You can access the registry here.
- Cash! Make checks payable to Danny and Anastasia Breidenbaugh.
- The theme for their room is stars and moons, kind of an evening sky theme
But wait, there’s more! Guess the combined weight of the babies, and you will win a photo op with twins and a hymn of your choice to be sung at a future service! Look for a box in the Welcome Center to enter your guess. Please contact Lisa Tittle (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or Kelly Jester (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) you have questions.

Beginning August 5th, we will study Peter 1 & 2 using a book by Max Lucado, 'Life Lessons from 1 and 2 Peter.' The disciple Peter knew what it was like to go through tough times. He endured threats, punishment, time in jail, beatings, and false words. He had seen enough to know how to stay strong in tough times. So he wrote a survival manual to show how we should act and respond when life isn't fair. His words of wisdom are beacons of hope for making it through hard times. All men are welcome. No need to have attended prior weeks. Please let me know if you would like me to order the book for you, or you can order it online. The group decided to continue meeting on Zoom; to receive the Zoom link please email John Varvaris at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
