Are You a First-Time Guest?

If this is your first time here, we have a gift for you! Visit the welcome table in the foyer, and a member of our Guest Connections Team (they’ll be wearing a white name tag) will happily assist you. 

Nursery and Childcare

Our nursery is available for infants to pre-k students. We believe in family worship, so your kids are welcome to stay in the worship service with you. We have a time for children during worship where kids are invited to come forward to hear from our children’s ministry team. If your children are joining you in worship, we offer “wiggle bags” filled with activities for your children to do during worship. Wiggle bags may be found in the back of the sanctuary.

What's New at First Methodist

Last Day to Order Easter Lilies

Today is the final day to order lilies to adorn our worship spaces on Easter Sunday. Ordering envelopes may be picked up from the pew-back pockets or welcome area and may be returned to the offering plate or dropped off in the church office.

No GrowGroups or Wednesday Night Meal this Week

Due to Holy Week, there will not be a fellowship meal this week, and GrowGroups will not meet. Youth and their parents will be contacted about this week's youth events, and Confirmands will still head to Groom on Wednesday evening.

Good Friday Service: April 3, 6:30 p.m., Sanctuary

You're invited to an evening of reflection and worship this Friday, April 3, at 6:30 in our sanctuary as we remember and ponder Jesus' suffering and death on the cross. We will be joined by an artist who will create an interactive painting during the service. Childcare provided.

Next Sunday: Palm Sunday

On Palm Sunday, we celebrate and remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the back of a colt. We have a surprise planned for this day that your children will remember for years to come!

Final Lenten Saturday Communion Service: Saturday, 11:00-11:15 a.m., Sanctuary

Join Hayden in the sanctuary this Saturday morning from 11:00 to 11:15 for our final Saturday Communion service of the Lenten season. Come remember Christ’s sacrifice, His death on the cross, and experience His love for you.

Easter Sunday: April 5, 8:30 and 10:50 a.m.

Next Sunday, experience the hope and joy of the resurrection of Christ in one of several ways!

• Traditional services at 8:30 and 10:50 a.m., sanctuary

Children of all ages are always welcome in worship, but if you need it, childcare will be  available. Adult Sunday school class meetings will be optional; children's classes will not meet.
