Good Friday
On Good Friday we remember the good and loving sacrifice Christ made so that we all might come to know and experience his unconditional grace. Led by the First UMC choir sharing music based upon the seven last words of Jesus, we will together reflect upon Christ’s death, darken our Sanctuary, and depart in silence. We invite all to join us for this special evening service. We will be meeting in person in the Sanctuary Friday, March 29th, at 7pm, and livestreaming the service on YouTube.

Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday is a celebration of Christ’s final night with his disciples before his crucifixion. The term Maundy comes from the Latin word, “mandatum,” meaning mandate or command and comes from the new command Jesus offers his Disciples in the Gospel of John, to love one another as he has loved them (John 13:34). In this service we will commemorate Jesus’ Last Supper as we share in Holy Communion with one another. Worship will be led by our Closer Walk Praise Band. We invite everyone to join us this special evening service on Thursday, March 28th at 7pm! We will be meeting in person in the Family Life Center, and livestreaming the service on YouTube as well!

Thanks-for-Giving
The Momentum Youth Group’s Annual Thanks-for-Giving Meal and Dessert Auction is Sunday, November 12th, in the Family Life Center multi-purpose room!
A traditional Thanksgiving meal is prepared and served by the youth @ 11:15am and again at 12:15pm with a Dessert Auction during each seating. The meal is completely free of charge, but donations are always accepted! Donations and proceeds from the auction help fund our youth ministries for the ENTIRE year! This includes mission trips, activities, Bible study materials, and much more! This is the only fundraiser the youth have each year, and is also their way of saying, “Thanks, FUMC, for giving!” To RSVP to the meal, and/or sign up to bring a dessert to auction, CLICK HERE.
Food donations for the meal are also requested! Posters with donation slips will be located in the Parlor and in the hallway of the FLC. If you have any questions, or for more information, please contact
