Up Coming Event and This Sunday

Sunday Morning
Sunday is a very special day - Transfiguration Sunday. The sermon from the series "Who Does Jesus Say That He Is", will be, "The Gate." The Bible reading will be from John 10:1- 10. Jesus says, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." He also says, "I am come, that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

Anyone reading this who has not been able to come to church recently, we don't want you to miss out on this one. The series on Jesus is so powerful, so personal, so loving, and has such clarity - it goes straight to your heart and soul. Please come be blessed.

There are so many wonderful things happening Sunday, the Stephen Ministry Leaders will be commissioned during worship. Also, there will be a reception to welcome our new Music Director, Edward Gibson. We will have refreshments in the Narthex after the 10:45 service. Everyone is invited to come meet Edward and welcome him to FUMC. Edward started work Feb. 12th, had his first practice with the choir Wed., and sang for the UMW gathering Thursday. We so look forward to seeing him with the choir Sunday. Edward has a very kind and joyful personality, so don't be afraid to introduce yourself, he would love to meet you!

 

Ash Wednesday
 This Wednesday, Feb. 21st is Ash Wednesday. We will have our Ash Wednesday Service at 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary. It will be a special time of preparation for the Holy Season. This is also the day we will begin using our Lenten Calendars that were mailed/e-mailed. Rev. Galloway will have special instructions to share with us to help us focus on prayer.

The Wonderful Wed. meal will be served that night from 5:30-6:30 pm. Classes that usually meet earlier on Wed. will still meet. Classes that would normally meet during the time around 6:30-8 pm will not meet that night in order to allow everyone to participate in the Ash Wed. service. If you have questions about your specific group. please contact the church office or your group leader.

Everyone is invited to come prepare as a church family for this Holy time of year as we remember what God gave us through His Son, Jesus.
