What a beautiful weekend celebrating our graduates! 🎓❤️

From honoring graduates of all ages during worship to gathering afterward for a backyard BBQ, it was a day filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful fellowship. ☀️🍔🌭

The weather couldn’t have been better, and neither could the company. We are so proud of each person who has reached this milestone and grateful for the opportunity to celebrate together as a church family.

Help us congratulate our graduates in the comments! 👏🎉

Rev. Sophy Gamber, who answered her call as a member of FUMCOG, was commissioned as an Elder in the United Methodist Church yesterday. This is a major step on Sophy’s journey to ordination. Please pause and join in giving God thanks for Sophy faithfully saying, “Here I am, Lord, send me!” How is God calling you today?

This past weekend, FUMCOG was honored to open our doors once again for Neighbors Table in partnership with 🍅🥦

We especially want to shine a light on the incredible woman behind this event, Christine Schafer, whose compassion, leadership, and dedication continue to bring people together and nourish our community in such a powerful way.💙💚

Saturday welcomed more neighbors than ever before, filling every seat and reminding us just how important spaces of care, connection, and community truly are.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, and showed up with love. Every meal and every neighbor matters. ✅

At First United Methodist Church of Germantown, social justice isn’t just something we talk about — it’s part of our calling. ✊🏽💛 We believe faith should show up for our neighbors, speak up against injustice, and create space for compassion, peace, and action within our community.

Every week, we gather together in peaceful protest and solidarity because we know our voices are stronger when we stand united. Whether you’ve marched for years or are looking for a place to begin, you are welcome here. 🕊️
