Our Programs
-
Sunday Worship attendance is strong. People are
coming to church, worshiping, celebrating God's presence, and lifting one
another up in prayer - that's a good thing!
-
Wonderful Wednesdays are truly "wonderful"
with over 90 people gathering for fantastic food, enriching fellowship, and
a good serving of "soul food" prepared especially for children, youth, and
adults. If you are not attending wonderful Wednesday's, you are
missing a real treat! Wonderful Wednesday's is a good thing!
-
Our youth and children's ministries are
vibrant with great programs, activities, and fellowship. Thirty-seven
of those young people recently piled into the church bus for a local outing
-- young people are being blessed... that's a good thing!
-
Our preschool is touching many children in
our church and community. The kids are learning about Jesus, the
Bible, and God's love for them.

As we approach a new year, please give some thought and prayer to the
following items:
a. Lay Witness Mission Weekend - PLEASE place this
event on your calendar - April 18 - 20 (This is a church-wide event,
including adults, youth, and children - held at the church, involving
every member and friend of our church!! More information will be shared in
the coming weeks - We are seeking 100% participation for this event -- it
IS that important, and will be a weekend you will never forget!!)
b. Beliefs 101 - Basic course on Christian Methodist
beliefs, history, and doctrine - taught by myself during the Sunday School
hour on Sunday Jan. 20, 27 & Feb. 3 & 10. Call the church office and sign
up NOW for this essential teaching.
c. Parish Friends Program - With all of our new members
joining, we need mentor/friends to come along side these new members and
help them assimilate into the life of our church. Do you wish to be a
mentor/friend to one of our new members? Watch for more information as we
begin a new year, or if you have interest in assisting a new member,
please let Teresa know. (Prov. 18:24)
d. The Barnabas Battalion - we will be forming a
consolation ministry and visitation teams for shut-ins, hospitalized
members, and for other needs. If this sounds like a ministry you may be
interested in, please let us know, and we will be having
training/organization in the new year! (Acts 4:36, 9:31)
e. Prayer Team Ministry - the formation of prayer teams
ready to pray with those in need, both during the worship service and
beyond. Also, we will be looking at establishing a prayer "chapel" to help
meet the prayer needs of our visitors and members to First.
Please continue to pray for the many programs, ministries and
opportunities for service at First Church.
