The Growing Tree

Another School year is just around the corner! The Growing Tree is hosting an open house on July 25th from 5:00pm-7:00pm in The Fellowship Hall. We are asking the congregation to step up and step in to make them feel welcome in our church.

Can you and will you provide finger foods for this night? Can you and will you write a card to parents and/or teachers to let them know we are praying for them and their kiddos this year? Can you and will you pray for them?

Contact the church office at 931-363-2595, email info@fumcpulaski.com, or fill out the google form below to let me know how you would like to contribute!
