Recreation

FUMC's Recreation Ministry offers a wide variety of activities for all ages and interests.  FUMC participates in both Youth and Adult Church League Basketball and Adult Church Leage Softball. We currently offer Zumba classes on Tuesday and Friday afternoons and our gym is open for walking daily.   We often participate in  Downtown Jackson activities such as the  Mardi Gras parade and Trunk or Treat. Our annual Advent Family night is a special evening of making gifts to give and gifts to keep as well as playing  games and decorating (and eating) Christmas cookies!  We gather for Wednesday Evening Fellowship to experience a wide variety of options. Past classes have included  Line and Ball Room dancing, yoga,  scrap booking, oil painting and jewelry making.  Please contact us for current offerings. If you have any questions about or suggestions for  recreation opportunities or programming, please contact:
