The Health and Wellness work area would like to introduce the Cradle Caring ministry. We would like to welcome the newest members of the Downers Grove First United Methodist Church by providing gift baskets to families with newborn babies. This is such an exciting time for families and we wish to provide information about available resources and baptism. Please contact the church office with a due date and/or delivery date of any new babies being born to members of the church. We look forward to hearing about all of the precious new bundles of joy!
The Environmental Stewardship Work Area at DGFUMC took responsibility for an area on the church's grounds over the past year to maintain its landscaping and vegetation. This area (south of the main parking lot between the main entrance and exit) is visible to everyone from Maple Street and is seen as everyone enters/exits the main parking lot from Maple. Over the past year our group has planted more than a dozen Choral Bells, put down mulch, and ensured those pesky weeds don't overtake the tulips, bushes, or other plants.
God, as known to us in Jesus Christ, welcomes all.
We welcome people of any race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, social or economic status, employment status, or life situation; including people with physical or mental illness or disability.
We practice loving acceptance of each person and respectful discussion
of our differences.
