Happy Friday. We hope 2020 is off to a great start for you!
You may have seen local and national news stories saying that the United Methodist Church has agreed to split.
Don't believe everything you read in the news. You should have received a special message on Wednesday from Dr. Will Cotton which clarified the current status. If you did not receive his email, you can
access it here.
Enjoy this First Church E-News.

We are collecting new twin-size sheets, blankets, comforters and pillows for our church-wide mission for
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
. On February 1, volunteers will be constructing twin bunk beds for area children who currently do not have their own bed. The new bedding we collect will be given to the children with their new bed! Any money donated will also go to Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
