Greetings!
For the 6 Sundays after Easter, we will focus on and celebrate The Living Hope that we receive through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Join us as we journey through I Peter and discover the hope that carries us forward in life here and for eternity. Hope is not wishful thinking. For Christians, hope is confidence in the person and work of Jesus. More than ever we need hope to navigate these days. Come and worship with us and give thanks for…The Living Hope!

During Holy Week, the Methodist Women dedicated the Floral Cross in the courtyard in honor of Pastor Patrick Whaley. Margie Ward and Doris Wade are our designers each year and we have many helpers. This has been an FUMC tradition for over 30 years. |

The Chosen
A Multi-Season Movie of Jesus, His Teachings, & His Disciples
Many of you by now are familiar with The Chosen. Perhaps you’ve downloaded the free app so you could watch the first two seasons. Maybe you’ve seen it on a streaming channel. The Chosen is being crowd-funded (donations) so that it can be offered free to the world! Many of us believe this is one of the best presentations of Jesus in our lifetimes!
Some of you have participated already in a group study of season one or two. Starting after Easter, Pastor Powell will again offer an 8 week small group focused on Season One. Two sessions will be offered: Monday nights (beginning April 25th) and Tuesdays at 1:30pm (beginning April 26th). Each one hour session will include viewing a number of clips and discussing the biblical story as well as the impact of Jesus on our lives. It’s usually helpful to view the episode before the group time – and sometimes afterwards as well! Let Powell know you’re coming (posteen@nccumc.org).

The State of Methodism - a Congregational Meeting
May 1st
These are challenging times for the people called Methodist! Many know the Methodist Church in America has been in serious decline. Tensions are high in our denomination as beliefs and practices are no longer held in common. We have not been able to hold a General Conference where some things could have been more gracefully handled. The word “united” is a stretch for the people called Methodist. Some have heard about a new way offered for Methodists to choose to be aligned with either the United Methodist Church or the Global Methodist Church. On Sunday May 1st, from 3-4:30pm in the sanctuary, Pastor Powell will present information about the current situation in our denomination and possibilities for the future. There will be time for questions and answers. No registration is necessary. All are welcome.

Thursday, May 12th
Morehead City Country Club
Since 2011, First UMC has been in a relationship with missionary Wil Bailey. We have sent teams and supported his mission with funds. We have been unable to travel to Costa Rica since 2018. In 2019, we chose not to send a team and focus our efforts on rebuilding in the wake of Hurricane Florence. Wil brought his staff to Carteret County in 2019 to help us rebuild. In 2020 and 2021, we canceled our trips due to Covid. By playing in this tournament, you are helping us maintain our support for Wil AND send a team made of local youth and adults.
