Pastor Jeanine begins a new sermon series this week, based on Psalms: “Moments that Take Your Breath Away.” Her focus this Sunday will be “This is the Day.” We will also be celebrating a baptism, as well as Communion. It’s a joy-filled service, so be sure to join us! While the service will be streamed and available at any time following, we hope you will be able to attend in person. It is truly an enhanced experience. Thank you to the Livestream Team for making this online service possible.
Our special music this week will feature soprano Mary Whitlock. Although our regular music groups take a break for the summer, there will continue to be wonderful and inspiring music provided by talented soloists and small ensembles. We hope you will join us in celebrating the wonderful depth of musical talent at FUMC!
A nursery for children age 5 and under is available on the lower level. Activity bags for children remaining in worship will be available at the Family Table in the Narthex. Sunday School will resume in the fall.
For those who will watch the service online, either live or later in the week, please fill out the Connect Card. If you are attending in person, you may also record your attendance using this card.
