Pastor's Note
Dear Francis Asbury Friend,
You are a valued staple of our community, and our church family would love to have your support for our upcoming fundraising gala, hosted by The Cove, on Saturday, April 29, 2023.
At Francis Asbury United Methodist Church, our mission is to give people a place to belong as they areand find purpose while growing in faith together. In 1962, we made Great Neck Road our permanent home and would never be able to help so many in our area without the generous hearts of people like you. Your support will be funneled right back into our community through the many programs associated with our church, such as Francis Asbury Preschool, Boy Scouts of America, Youth Volunteer Corps, Lasagna Love, Jump Kids, SHALOM Project, and our incredible Family Ministry- just to name a few.
For nearly six decades now, FAUMC has partnered with countless families to explore the Bible and grow through God’s love. On behalf of all the families of our congregation, we would like to ask you to join with us in our ongoing mission by sponsoring The Cove’s A Starry Night Gala that benefits Francis Asbury United Methodist Church. Our goal is to raise enough money to tackle some much-needed improvements in order to keep our worship and community space safe and functional. Additionally, your support will allow us to grow our ministry and perhaps most importantly, allow us to continue to do God’s work throughout our community, and our world. Giving back locally is a pillar of our core values and we would love to have you join us in this endeavor through a 2023 gala sponsorship.
Kindly see below, the tax-deductible sponsorship opportunities for your review and let us know of your level of support. Thank you for consideration and may the light of the Lord shine upon you always.
In joy,
Derrick Parson
Senior Pastor
