Roadside Cleanup, May 18, 2019

May 6, 2019

Saturday, May 18, 2019, Noon-2:00
NOTE DATE CHANGE

First United Methodist Church sponsors one of the Saint Louis County Roadside Cleanup locations, and twice a year, in the spring and fall, schedules a time to make our community a little nicer.

Our cleanup area is a two-mile stretch of Maple Grove Road, from Lindahl Road to Solway Road.

We always need more help to make the workload a little lighter. Please call the church office at 218-727-5021 or contact Bill Alexander at bill@strikepoint.com if you are interested.

You should dress for the weather, bring gloves, and wear footwear suitable for walking in ditches. Meet us at the Faith Baptist Church parking lot at Midway and Maple Grove. We will supply beautiful yellow vests and stylish garbage bags.

Celebration Sunday

May 6, 2019

We Are Ready for Celebrations! All we need now is YOU!

On Sunday, May 19, the people of First United Methodist Church will gather to worship and celebrate. We have four areas of our church that run in the background, always working and active, or are so visible that we sometimes take them for granted.

On this Celebration Sunday we will recognize our graduates, individuals who have worked for years to reach their educational goals. If you know of anyone graduating from high school or college who should be highlighted during this service, please call the church office to let us know.

We are also excited to have Bishop Bruce Ough preaching during this service. We celebrate his hard work and leadership for us and for our Conference.

We celebrate the conclusion of our Capital Campaign, which began just over four years ago, and all of you who helped make it happen.

Music and musicians are not only a huge part of services at FUMC, but you can also find them out in the community representing us. We celebrate the gifts these one hundred musicians share with us weekly.

Welcome to the party!
