First United Methodist Church members are encouraged to bring non-perishable items to the church on the first Sunday of each month to stock our food pantry. These items are used by the volunteers to provide food for the families in need. There’s a desperate need for more volunteers. Please call Sue Bachman at 359-4390 for more information.
Especially needed are: canned chicken, canned pears, jelly, pepper, vegetable oil, and dishwasher soap. Of course, monetary donations are always appreciated.

Wesley Covenant Group Bible Study: Fall 2019
John
Almost everyone will admit to feeling lost in the dark at some point in their lives. Human beings struggle with feeling lost in life, unsure of the next step, unclear about who we are and what we are here for, unable to find a light that would give us the knowledge we need to see the way ahead.
Our feelings of being lost and in the dark often stem from our inability to understand God. The God of the intricacies of the created order is not like us! How can we know such a God? How can we know what such a God wants of us?
Join us as we seek to know God through the words and works of Jesus.

Coming together for a fresh start! Get to know our new pastor, Julia Melgreen, and reconnect with people that attend a different worship service than you do. ...

The world's bestselling, most-read, and most-loved book is also one of the most confusing. In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton, one of the country's leading pastors and Christian authors, addresses the hot-button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, and answers many of the questions frequently asked by Christians and non-Christians alike.
We are worshipping together this summer at 10:30am and this Bible study gives us another chance to come together as a... church and get to know Pastor Julia!
Books for this study cost $11. The book will enhance your study but if you don't have time to read, you can still join in!
This study is for adults. Children and youth will have their own study/activities during this hour. Child care will be available for children ages birth-4 years.
Sign up between worship services June 9 - 30 OR
