SUNDAY WORSHIP
Our weekly Sunday services will focus on and enhance the content of the weekly book readings through Scripture, music and the pastor’s sermon. This sermon series will begin on Sunday, March 30.
MISSION OPPORTUNITIES
An additional focus of the 40 Days of Community campaign will be to discover how missions (SERVING AND REACHING OUT) are an important element in our Christian life. Small groups will be encouraged to join together in a mission outreach during the 40 Days of Community.
MISSION FAIR
A Ministry & Mission Fair will be held on Sunday morning, April 6th from 9:15 am until 1:00 pm in the church Multipurpose Room. Plan to stop by and see for yourself how First Church reflects the light of God to our community and to the world. You will also have the opportunity to “find the intersection of God’s will and your gifts” at this celebration of our service to God! If you have any questions, please contact Tina Eaton @ 766-4611 or wecare@fumchurch.com.
