Hello First Methodist,

“For we are God’s handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

As we bask in the Easter joy of the resurrection, we see the power of God at work in our lives to make us new and restore us to our purpose for God. Our new identity in Jesus is His masterpiece in progress. Join us for the next six weeks as we hear of God’s handiwork: Chosen, Redeemed, Together on Mission, Different, Protected, and Eternal.

You are a Masterpiece!

Christ is Risen Indeed!

Easter Floral Cross

The floral cross was dedicated to Margie Ward for the over 40 years she has decorated the cross. Thank you Methodist Women for your hard work and dedication!

Support in Ukraine

Our friends from Ukraine sent these pictures from a trip to support families and orphans near the Bucha's region. You can see the happy faces when they receive the goods and clothes and the message of Jesus Christ. How perfect that LOVE is written on the fabric. God is good! Thank you for continuing to support our brothers and sisters in Ukraine and the surrounding regions.

Project MHC is a mission experience that is designed to be a mission trip experience without leaving our county. We will only be working a few short miles away from the church, but for many of our youth, they will be stepping into a world entirely different from their own. This is designed to be an opportunity for youth to grow in their faith while serving as the hands and feet of Jesus. Project MHC is designed to be an overnight experience so youth participating are required to spend the night and participate in all daytime activities.

Youth who have completed grades 5-11 (Rising 6th-12th graders)

*Former participants in 12th grade and up are welcome to apply as counselors! Registration Fee - $300 (This cost goes to support the houses that we are working on by providing materials, tools, and more as well as providing some meals and fun activities for the youth)
