It's Christmas week. The church staff has been busy preparing for four unique and beautiful
Christmas Eve services at 4, 7, 9 and 11 pm. We hope you will join us for one or more services. Beautiful music and inspiration!
The
Sound of Joy Handbell team is always a joy to hear. At the recent
Ring Noel, they performed
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

Merry Christmas!
What a privilege it will be for Tina and me to join with you in our fourth Christmas together. How time flies!
On Tuesday evening, we share in four distinct Christmas Eve candlelight services at:
- 4 pm (Children and their Families)
- 7 pm (Traditional for all ages)
- 9 pm (Contemporary for all ages)
- 11 pm (Relaxed Jazz with Communion)
Several have said you will attend twice. The pastors will attend four! Please note the earlier time for Christmas Eve for Children – 4 pm.
On behalf of the pastors and staff of First United Methodist Church, do have a Merry Christmas and then buckle up for an amazing and Spirit-filled 2020, both for you personally and for our congregation.
Sincerely in Christ,

Finishing Strong in 2020
Our Finance Committee wants you to know it’s not too late to make an end of year gift to First Church. The completion of our ministries both inside and outside the walls invites our very best effort. We have reached more people in the name of Christ in this year than ever before, and your generosity has helped make that happen. You may bring a check with you to worship, put your gift in the mail or
give online.
Your gifts are helping change lives and change our world!
Thanks so much.

There will be no Children's Sunday School, Bible Buddies, or Youth Sunday School. There will be care for children 2 years and under on December 22 only. Most adult Sunday School classes will not meet. Check with your class leaders.
