Save the date, Sunday, September 9, for Rally Day!
It’s been a great summer but now it’s time to get ready for fall activities so come find out what’s new this year and how you can be in ministry to others, grow in your faith, or both. Blessing of the Backpacks and a Pot Luck will be a part of the celebration!!!
More details to follow so keep your eyes on the screen on Sunday mornings and your ears open for announcements.
Darryl Miller, Missions Chair, is asking that if anyone needs any work done around their home, or knows of someone who does, and either cannot do it themselves or cannot afford to do it themselves, to see him or sign up on the Volunteer Jobs wanted poster in the Wesley Hall. Darryl is coordinating work crews around the community to help in completing small maintenance jobs for our congregation and community.
So if you have leaves to be raked, windows to be washed, carpet to be torn up, a house washed or any other home maintenance issue please give him or the church a call so that we can work together for God’s glory!
On June 13 we will begin a new thing: Messy Church! Messy Church is a monthly intergenerational, Christ-centered, hospitable, and creative event that will be an alternative to our traditional VBS.. Messy Church begins with a community meal and includes a worship time and creativity time.
Messy Church will meet monthly on the 2nd Wednesday night (June 13, July 11, and August 8). In order to make Messy Church a reality, we need your prayers and, if you are able bodied, your hands to help. Each month we need food preparers and clean up helpers (talk to Sandy Paul) and folks to help facilitate the creative time (we still need a creativity coordinator).
The entire event will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room from 6:00pm until 7:30pm.
We have invited our neighbors, the families of Seminole Academy, to come and be a part of Messy Church. Our goal is to spread God’s love through the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are either unchurched, de-churched, or simply looking for a change to the routine of church.
Come and join us for Messy Church!!
See the sign-up sheet on the Library Window or talk to Rev. Alicea.
Our newest small group Bible study begins on May 20 and will focus on the Gospel according to Matthew. Our study will take place in homes, beginning with Rev. Alicea and Rev. Maureen, and will include a shared meal before diving into the scriptures.

Discussion and questions about the readings will be welcome on the Facebook group page. Come to all or some of the sessions, this is your opportunity to dive into and become more grounded in scriptures.
During worship that day we will have some great music, a special message and a gift for our Mothers to show our love.

The End of Year Party for Youth group is a work in process, please check your text messages and/or email for updates about this special event!

We will celebrate our Confirmands and our Seniors!
Based on the movie “I Can Only Imagine” (in theatres now). The local church has been charged with the mission of sharing the hope of the gospel, but it can be challenging in a broken world. As people of Christ, we have seen people falter at the unexpected. How can you help restore the hope when someone feels rejected, guilty or broken. Before he became the Leader of the Band “Mercy Me”, Bart Millard suffered a painful childhood. Abused by his father, Bart built walls around his heart, he couldn’t see any hope.
In this series, we will delve into Bart’s story of pain, redemption, forgiveness and God being glorified. I hope you will join us every Sunday as we see ourselves through God’s eyes, and find healing, hope and restoration.
Come see FUMC’S Youths Got Talent! Eat with friends, new and old, and then move upstairs to enjoy a show that will make you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time!

We’ll cut veggies on April 24 at 6:00 p.m. and then on April 25 and 26, the making and baking will begin. Sign up sheets are on the Library window. Find a spot to help and sign up today!
See you soon!!
