Events to Note
Summer Core Groups
Knowing that we are hungering for more connection this summer, we invite you to join a virtual summer Core Group! For 8 weeks, June 7-August 2 (minus the 4th of July week) join a consistent group of people for accountability, belonging, and care. The Core Group experience will be led by a facilitator and include a time of sharing, use the discussion questions from the weekly message, and a time of prayer. Each group will be limited to a total of 12 people and will also support or participate with a Risk-Taking Mission this summer. We can't wait to see you there! Sign up by clicking on this link. Registration closes June 2.
Summer SEasonal Class: Not Who you think we are
Movies, popcorn, and a lively discussion sound good? Join us for a four-week study in which movies about folks experiencing hardships and homelessness intersect with powerful and transformative stories from scripture. All of the moves are free to view with a library card through the app Hoopla. We will meet virtually on Tuesdays at 7 pm June 9, 16, 23, and 30 via Zoom for discussion. Worried about how to participate or need help to do so? Now worries, sign up and we will walk you through it all! Sign up here. Registration closes June 2.
New Church App!
First United Methodist Church's new app (called Church Center) has launched! Click on the Church Center image to view a video about it. Then, look for Church Center in your app store. If you are new to adding apps to your smartphone, you may find the directions here helpful. We look forward to connecting with you on Church Center!
Our Values
All are welcome here. For the love of God we really mean it, but if you are looking for the perfect church, we are NOT it. We are an imperfect group of people on a faith journey together. And, imperfect people of all ages, differing abilities, ethnicities, gender identities, income levels, races, and sexual orientations are welcome and fully included in the ever-widening circle of this faith community.
