Follow your Wandering Heart to Lenten Study

This Lent, we are focusing on the life and faith of one of Jesus’ most famous disciples.  In Peter, we see a person who is both steadfast and unsteady, a dear friend and a betrayer, a follower and a wanderer.  In Peter, we often see ourselves.  By following Peter’s journey, we watch the story of Jesus unfold through the eyes of a very normal human trying to figure it all out – just like us.  So, join us in figuring it out in our Lenten study, Wandering Heart.  We will meet Thursday evenings at 5pm in the Conference Room, February 22 through March 28.

Pajamas and Pancakes are happening on March 10 after the 9:00 am service.  We plan on eating at 10:15 am.  There will be fun for all ages with board games, fellowship and of course pancakes!

Please, join us as you are able! Holy Week Activities

Thank you to everyone who helps keep the First UM Food Pantry stocked and ready to help the next needy neighbor!  Many of you specifically fill the Little Food Pantry with goodies; others bring monetary donations so we can purchase items as needed.  Both ways work great!  Just a reminder:  As we move into the winter season we need to make sure items can endure the freezing season.  Again, our thanks!
