Remember Hope

Saturday, March 29 at 7:00 p.m.

Remember Hope is a concert sponsored by First UMC and others in our community celebrating the 200th anniversary of Alachua County through our shared history of civil rights, women's suffrage, LGBTQ+, veterans, and all those who struggle for equality and to be seen in North Central Florida.
Portions of the AIDS quilt, on loan from the Matheson History Museum, will be displayed in the Chapel prior to and following the performance.
