MESSAGE FROM RICKY
Dear Friends,
This coming Sunday in worship, we will be recognizing our long-standing relationship with Scouting Ministries here at First United Methodist Church. We'll have representatives from our scouting units with us in worship.
We also want to encourage all our kids and youth who participate in scouting, whether at our church or not, to wear your uniform so we can recognize you! And, if you were part of scouting in the past feel free to wear some memorabilia from your time in the program!
Lastly, please continue to be wary if you receive any odd emails or text messages from people claiming to be one of our pastors or staff. Churches are unfortunately often victims of these types of scams. Double-check the email address. Our emails come from @firstmethodistclinton.org. If you get something that looks suspicious, please call the church office to verify. Also, we will never ask you to personally buy gift cards for us or send us any payment through cell phones, etc. But, as always, we will gratefully accept your generous prayers!
Grace and Peace,
Ricky
