The Sunday service was safe regarding COVID. Handmade masks were available for anyone who forgot to bring their own. Ushers make sure distancing is adequate. Hymns are sung by a professional choir quartet. Rear of sanctuary is set aside for people not singing. I enjoyed the children's service the most.

The church is beautiful and they allow at least one agency to help the community with food and socks, gloves and hats during the winter. I haven't been inside yet but I'm sure it is as beautiful on the inside

Went there for Preston's Pantry food bank. Great food. Great people. And the church has provided area outside but social distancing and masks are required. Also. . bring tour own bags and a cart or something. . . .cause they will load you up with food food.

Hi Archie, I'm sorry to hear about your van. We understand that is a really important resource. We have some limited ways to be of service, but we don't have the resources to fix your vehicle. Perhaps we could help some other way? You can call our front desk M-F 9 to 4:45 and give your contact information to our staff. They will ask a minister to give you a call. We also host the Preston Food Pantry on Tues, Thurs and Friday from 3pm to 5pm. You can pick up fresh and non-perishable food. Just show up during that time and the volunteers will get you situated. Its a program with the Oregon Food Bank. Your neighbors at FUMC
