EVERYONE is invited to our misisons conference on FEB. 3-5. It promises to be a great weekend as we learn, serve and worship together...and eat, too!!!
We are blessed to have 4 missionaries who will come and share their stories and lives with us for the weekend. You will not want to miss out as we hear from them and get to know them on a personal level.
We will be doing things a little different on Friday night this year (see schedule below). As we have done the past couple of years, we will spend Sat afternoon in service to our community and the world. We will be gathering in the morning for breakfast and devotions from our missionaries and then we will separate into groups and work on 3 different projects:
(1) putting together the 750 health kits we have collected for over the past few months
(2) going to SECOND HARVEST to work in their warehouse
(3) building shelves, transporting food to FUMC food bank new location
It will be an exciting day at FIRST CHURCH as we work together.
Sunday morning will find us in worship together and then enjoying a great potluck dinner after church. Bring your favorite dish to share.
