COVID UPDATE: At Fallston, masks are optional, however, for the sake of our children, we ask that when moving around the church, we wear masks. We also ask that you stay seated while we sing and to wear masks if you choose to sing! Thank you for your diligence and patience as we continue to be flexible to meet the needs of our congregation. Stay tuned for additional changes based on what is going on in our community and the world.

A need came to our attention this past week of a family in one of the schools we assist. It's a story that truly tugs at your heart. They came to the United States with no other family here. The father died suddenly last year of a heart attack, and his job held the health insurance. The mother is now dying of a terminal illness and the 4 children (1 with special needs) will be sent into the foster care system. There is a great need for financial assistance for these next few months as well as clothing for the children. The teachers have shared that the children are wearing the same clothing 2-3 times a week. Because of the mother's immune compromised system, all clothing must be new. If you would like to help, please bring items to the church by next Sunday, October 3rd.
- Girl - size 10
- Girl - size 12
- Boy - size 16 pant / large shirt
- Boy - size 14 pant / medium shirt
Thank you so much for your generosity.

FUMC will be preparing and serving on Saturday, October 2nd from 10-2 at Prince of Peace church in Edgewood. We are asked to provide enough food to feed 200 people which is about 25 casseroles.

I can forward the recipe for what we will be serving that day to anyone willing to provide a casserole. Casseroles should be put in a disposable foil pan, marked with “Sharing Table” and placed in freezer at church anytime on the Wed, Thurs or Fri of that week.

This is an invitation to our 24th annual dinner theater. This year we are performing a full evening of short plays under the title, CONNECT. During the past 18 months our families, our community, and our world have been forced to hibernate and disconnect. We have designed our dinner theater to provide an opportunity to connect in a different way.
Our selections will highlight different ways to connect, from the 1940's to present day. You will meet relatable characters from the silly to the sinister, giving you chuckles and chills. You will appreciate the universality of many of the themes. So join us in a few hours of escape from the stressors of your life.
The dinner theater will be Saturday evenings October 2 & 9 at 6, Sunday matinees October 3 & 10, 2021 at 2. Tickets are $27.00 for adults, $17.00 for children (12 years of age and younger), and $17.00 for “show only”. There is a discount for groups of 8 or more. Make your reservations online at https://fp21.ezevent.com/. If you have questions or need help with online reservations, contact June Bond at 410-206-2312 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
COVID PRECAUTIONS: Masks are required inside the venue, they may be removed at your table. We have adjusted seating so you will not be sitting with people you do not know. If you want to sit with friends, order tickets in a block with them.
Annually, there are fans of the theater and fans of the dinner. We have popular selections of foods and we are able to accommodate special requests. Please indicate these when you make your reservations.
The Friendship Players produce this event each year as a major fundraiser for Fallston United Methodist Church. Thank you for your support in the past and we look forward to your attendance this year. Let us entertain you! June Bond, Producer and Director, Friendship Players

We are studying 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..

As kids get back to school, we continue to partner with schools to support those that are economically struggling. One of the potential partnerships is with the Edgewood High School football team. They are provided a dinner on Thursday evenings before Friday night games. Some of the athletes wouldn’t be able to have a decent meal that night. This is a way we can provide sustenance to some vulnerable kids. If you would like to help, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.
