Change The World  is a day about educating and serving our community hosted by our friends and neighbors at First United Methodist Church.  On this day we come together as one faith, one community with one common goal of being the hands and feet of Jesus. 

This   Saturday, October 20th from 11:00am until 2:00pmFPC will have a booth as part of the Community Service Fair. Come out and represent our church and enjoy the fellowship and great music...including our own Ambassador Choir. 
A Note from our Stewardship Team
We officially began our annual stewardship campaign on Sunday, October 7 with the theme, "Fearless Faith". Last Sunday, our pastor Steven Barnes preached about Praying Fearlessly. We also heard Pam Stillerman tell us about what the church means to her and how this influences her personal stewardship.

Stewardship season will culminate on Commitment Sunday, October 28, when we will come forward during worship to present our pledges for the coming year. 

Watch your mailbox for a special mailing from out Stewardship Team!
