What's Going On? Worship Outside Walls 2012
Worship Outside Walls 2012
Worship Outside the walls is a way to fulfill out mission statement of glorifying God by sharing Christ, discipling believers and serving others.
On Sunday, April 15th, First United Methodist Congregation had the opportunity to worship with and serve our community.

"We are called to be sent out by God. By serving others in our community, we not only help them but we help ourselves by the joy we feel in service and our need to be reminded of our daily walk with Jesus.
If evangelism is indeed something we believe is important, then stepping out in our community is required.
We need this to remind us that worship is not just what we do while within our church building, but is the ongoing way we conduct our lives with other people, some of whom are fellow believers and some who may not be.
Taking worship to homebound members is such a privilege and a responsibility for our church family and means so much to them and us. "
We are proud to have partnered with surrounding ministries and community.
