TUESDAY TIDINGS

YOUR CHURCH’S NEWSLETTER * Tuesday, June 17, 2025

Last week, FUMC Mount Dora transformed into the vibrant streets of “Hometown Nazareth”. Through immersive activities, engaging lessons, fun, upbeat songs, and tasty snacks the children and volunteers experienced Jesus’ childhood home in a whole new way.

This unforgettable week was made possible by the incredible generosity and support of our church family. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who donated their time, treasures, and talents to make Hometown Nazareth a reality.

Make a Difference for Kids in Belarus!

Spring of Revival is on a mission to equip 50 children in Greben—a small village in southern Belarus, near the Ukrainian border—with backpacks and school supplies. These kids face incredible hardships, as most families survive on just $200 a month, barely enough for food.

For years, Spring of Revival has been a beacon of hope, ensuring these children have the essentials they need for school. Now, we need your help to continue this life-changing work!

You can make an impact by giving online to “Belarus Missions” or writing in the memo line of your check.

Every gift brings hope. Dziakuj! Thank you!
