Help us help Fellowship UMC

The Academy of Gateway has decided we want to help Fellowship Church in Murfreeboro, TN.

  Did you know that it is estimated that over 750 children in Murfreesboro, TN go 67 hours with little or no food from lunchtime at school on Friday until breakfast at school on Monday?   

     We have found a way to help. The F.U.E.L. program is a food subsidization program that places food directly in the back packs of these children every Friday afternoon. Isn’t it wonderful? Every weekend they have something to eat!     

     Fellowship United Methodist Church is located at 2511 New Salem Hwy in Murfreesboro, TN. As a congregation, one of the mission projects we are most dedicated to is the F.U.E.L. Program. Through this program our church provides bags of food for those children who might otherwise go without food over the weekend.

We are collecting items for the F.U.E.L. Program!

Items needed are :

BREAKFAST ITEMS                              PROTEIN ITEMS                                  CHEESE ITEMS

• Pop Tarts                                                 Peanut Butter Crackers                      Cheese Crackers

  Small Box Cereal                                   Tuna in a Pouch                                  Cheese/Dipping Sticks

  Breakfast Tarts                                       Nuts in a Pouch

  Granola Bars                                          Peanut Butter

  Snack Bar

   FRUIT SNACKS                                     FRUIT ITEMS

  Snacks made with Fruit Juice             Apple sauce cup

  JUICE                                                       Fruit cups

  100% Juice Box                                     Raisins

  Items for The F.U.E.L. Program can be dropped off in the lobby of AoG

PJ and Movie Day at AoG

Wednesday we had a Movie and PJ day at The Academy of Gateway! 

The kiddos at AoG do not get to watch TV on a regular basis so this was very exciting for them.

After our naps and snack we all joined in the Enrichment Room and enjoyed Frosty the Snowman!!

The kiddos loved it and it got them very excited for when we do (hopefully soon) get snow here.

James and Leo left right when the movie was starting but we had to get a picture of them in their adorable jammies!! 

Miss Vanessa got to cuddle up with Zane

Greyson and Liberty were very interested in Frosty the Snowman 

So were these guys! 

*BEST FRIENDS* love watching movies together
