Children entering kindergarten and their parent(s) are invited to join us for a special event, for
Camp Believe in God (BIG) Church
, in the sanctuary at 9:45 am on Sunday, August 25. At First Church, we encourage families to worship together. During preschool years, children have the opportunity to practice worshiping, for a short time, before children are dismissed to attend Bible Buddies. Now that your child is in kindergarten, they are invited to stay for the full service. You will learn some exciting things about worship in the sanctuary from one of our pastors. You will also learn about the new format of the elementary children’s Sunday School program,
Walk of Faith
. Camp BIG Church will be in lieu of Sunday School for kindergarten children on August 25.
A light breakfast, in the foyer, will follow, so please register
online
so we will be expecting you!

Do you love children? Children's Ministry is in need of additional paid staff to work in our nursery on Sundays and Friday mornings and various evenings. The days and hours are flexible, so you can still attend a worship service or other activities. If you are 18 or older and interested, please email Tara@fumc-rr.org.

LifeGroups are coming soon! Would you like to be a facilitator?
If you love people and have a passion for helping others grow in their faith,you might want to think about becoming a facilitator.
Why?
- Facilitators are VIPs...very important to the success of the LifeGroups.
- Facilitators do not have total responsibility for the group. Other group members are encouraged to take on some role from a social chair to communication chair.
- Facilitators may choose to host group meetings in their home every week or have the meetings rotate among the group.
- Facilitators are the driving force to keep the group going and be the main point of contact.
- Facilitating a LifeGroup is a great way to connect to a small group of people and become more involved in the life of our church!
LifeGroups will launch on October 13. We have two opportunities for facilitator training on September 8 and 22. If you would like more info about becoming a LifeGroup facilitator please contact Rev. David Johnson, david@fumc-rr.org.
