This mission supports vital ministries and churches in our North Georgia conference and in North America. Scholarships are funded for those attending United Methodist colleges. Please mark your gifts as April Mission Fund.
Join the Choir - Join your voice with your fellow church singers at Flowery Branch UMC! -Life’s activities are pulling our singers in several directions. We are looking for more voices to help with our special offertory music. You do not have to stay in the choir loft. You can come up to perform and then sit with your family again. The sound of a solo voice can be beautiful but the sound of voices united in praise is so much more. Please consider joining the singers at FBUMC by attending our weekly rehearsals on Wednesday at 6:30pm. We meet in the sanctuary for about one hour. Help add to the quality of our Sunday worship by adding your voice to the choir. If you have any questions, please ask Bruce Nunley.
