SPR Announces Staff Changes
Per the emphases of Vision 2025, the Staff-Parish Relations Committee announces the following two changes on the First UMC program staff, effective August 15.
|
|
Jodi Marfell, who has ably served as our Director of Student Ministries for the past six years, will become our new
Director of Connecting Ministries – leading our efforts in New Member Assimilation, Congregational Involvement, and Initiatives for Young Adults and families. Jodi brings a growing faith, great organizational skills and the ability to involve others around her in ministry.
|
|
Replacing her as
Director of Student Ministries is
Taylor Ory. Taylor has served as an intern here and serves presently as our Associate Director of Student Ministries. He is an outstanding speaker, a strong mentor to our youth, and a champion for youth in mission locally and regionally. We are blessed to have him in this position.
The search has begun for an Associate Director of Youth Ministries. Be in prayer as we seek God’s person to serve alongside Taylor and our amazing youth and sponsors. Feel free to take a moment to pray for and send a congratulatory note to both
Jodi and
Taylor as they take these new positions.

Two fun events coming up at First Church!
|
|
Join us for Summer Choir...one Sunday or every Sunday. No Wednesday rehearsals...just show up 30 minutes prior to the 8:30 or 11 am worship service for a quick rehearsal. It is the fun, guaranteed low stress way to sing in the choir!

VBS ROAR 2019 was a huge success at First Church! Last week we reported that we had 374 participants in the two weeks, plus an army of youth and adult volunteers. Our local mission was the
Round Rock Area Serving Center. Over
934 pounds of food were donated by children who attended VBS. The serving center told our youth who delivered food and stocked shelves that would feed their clients for a month!
Operation Kid-to-Kid gives children an opportunity to help other children. This year the Operation Kid-to-Kid global mission was raising funds for medical care, nutrition and education for Moms and babies in Zambia. In two weeks, the children donated
$1019.41 to Operation Kid-to-Kid!
Way to go!
Plus...First Church has already blessed two other churches with VBS decorations and curriculum to be reused: Tree of Life Church in Pflugerville and Upwards Church in Jarrell.
