Reaching Out to Our Neighbors

Life in Christ is about being part of a community. This web site is one of the many tools we the members of First United Methodist Church have to reach out and share with our community the good news of Jesus Christ. Telling the good news of God's love for us even though we are undeserving. Jesus sends us to proclaim this message as the Holy Spirit empowers and directs us to carry it to all who will listen. This task leaves us with many challenges - challenges that are not insurmountable - with God's help.

RevivalRevival/Homecoming

Homecoming 101
2009
FUMC Fall Revival
This is our annual fall brush-arbor style Revival we hold typically in September where we invite dynamic, spirit-filled preachers and church-wide events to light-the fire so to speak in our church, in our hearts and in the spirits of our guests. Three days and nights of dynamic preaching and spirit-filled singing bring many to Jesus for the first time and enrich our spiritual journey.

This year we will be just a couple of weeks early with our Homecoming Weekend on Friday-Sunday August, 21-23. What would a homecoming be without a homeboy? One of our own, Rev. Tommy Moon will bring the revival message Friday night at 7:00 PM, Saturday night at 7:00 PM and Sunday Morning at 10:30 AM as only he can. You won't want to miss his special message. Invite and bring as many people as you can to this weekend of great preaching.

  • Friday night the FUMCi Youth sponsored a CHURCH-WIDE Sock Hop in the FLC

  • Pot Luck Dinner - Saturday evening at 5:30 PM

Photos and details of this and our previous revivals have been moved to the Ministries and Missions Archive.

Intercessory Prayer Ministry

"But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Lam. 3:21-23.

This is the experience of those who have benefited by praying and being prayed for through the Intercessory Prayer Ministry. The needs of our church, church families, and even people who have walked in from the streets in need of prayer, have experienced the Lord's faithfulness to hear and answer our prayers.

Prayerfully consider being part of this outreach, either by committing to pray once a week for the needs submitted, or by allowing those in the ministry to pray for your needs. Prayer cards are available in the pew racks and in the prayer boxes located in the main hall and west foyer of the sanctuary or you may fill out the on-line prayer request forms on this web site. Call 972-579-0122 for further details. Thank you!

The Mission Society for United Methodists

"The Mission Society for United Methodists is a voluntary association of United Methodist laity, clergy, and congregations dedicated to world evangelization. It exists to extend the mission outreach of the UM Church by helping to provide increased opportunities for United Methodists called to service and by assisting mission efforts at the local church level. Its chief objective is to incarnate God's love in Christ for the world and to invite all persons to trust in and become disciples of Jesus Christ."
