Living a COLORFUL Faith

You may have noticed that your last Circuit Rider newsletter was printed in vibrant color.

The change is in part due to the fact that our office copy machine now supports the ability to create a beautiful quality product at a lower cost to the church. Printing “in house” allows the church to save money and look better. Who can argue with that change for 2012?

You can find the newest issue of the newsletter at on the front page of our website or by clicking on this address: http://fumcpdx.org/CurrentNewsletter/

By switching to the electronic copy, you can eliminate the long wait for each issue to arrive in your mailbox and do your part to save a tree or two.

If you are interested in switching you can let the church office know at office@fumcpdx.org and we will send you a reminder email every two weeks when the new Circuit Rider is posted.

If you use an RSS Reader, you can also subscribe by clicking on this link.
