After School Ministry and Bus Ministry at First United Methodist Church of Wetumpka

After School Ministry and Bus Ministry starts TOMORROW (Aug. 24)

The After School Ministry and Bus Ministry starts back TOMORROW (Wednesday, August 24th) from 3:15 pm –  5:15 pm in the Family Life Center. We offer bus pick up from a few local schools  (Wetumpka Elementary, Middle, and High Schools) to FUMC Wetumpka (snack provided). Regularly attending students, and students who ride the church bus, need a permission form to be part of on and off campus hangouts in order for us to best care for each person. First-time guests do not need a form.

Remember you must turn in a new permission form to me, Jamie, BEFORE you can ride the bus or attend any in person on campus hangouts! You can also download the form here or talk to me if you need a hard copy and/or someone to notarize it!
