The July 2025 edition of First Family should now be in your homes. The online version on this website, is viewable, downloadable, and sharable. You can find information on church activities, as well as a photo album of FUMC’s June adventures in this issue. If you want to go back and find something specific, you can also find years of First Family, available in the archives at any time.
Please be aware that our services are livestreamed, and any adults or children participating in musical groups, children’s messages, and liturgist roles will appear on camera.
This week, Pastor Jeanine will conclude her sermon series based on the Psalms, looking at “When We Truly Celebrate Life.” We will celebrate communion and honor Independence Day. There will be special music by Shelley Gruskin on recorder, Velda Graham Bell on organ, and Rebecca Peterson on cello. 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.
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.
