FAMILY MINISTRIES
Dads, bring your daughters. Moms, bring your sons. Spouses and friends, bring each other! Get all dressed up, and come fellowship with one another at an event for all ages. We will enjoy music from across the decades and king cake. Bring a finger food to share if you'd like!
Join us as we dive into how to have the "Birds and Bees" talk with your child(ren). This will be a video and discussion series for parents that we will divide into two sessions on February 26 and March 5 from 11am-1pm. We will do the first half on Feb. 25 and will finish on March 5.
Childcare can be provided with registration.
Suggested donation of $20 per family to cover costs of lunch and curriculum. (Donations accepted at the event.)
ADULT MINISTRIES
Love puzzles? Need a new one to solve? Have some puzzles to donate? Check out our new puzzle library! The puzzle library is in our library's closet. Bring a puzzle, take a puzzle, and enjoy!

Kroger Plus Card
First Methodist Downtown has been accepted by Kroger as a charitable organization that is eligible to receive funding that we may use in our “Families in Need” ministry. Kroger allocates up to $2.5 million per year to approved organizations. The amount of funding to our church will be determined through the usage of shoppers’ Kroger Plus cards.

Kroger shoppers who want to identify Jackson FUMC as their preferred recipient of those funds must make that choice online. You may do that and learn more about this program at this link.

Directions are given on the site above for linking your Kroger Plus card to our church. The organization code for Jackson FUMC is EI174. If you need helping linking your Kroger Plus Card, please contact Tricia at the church office (731-422-4002).
MUSIC
No rehearsal tonight due to the road conditions.

Notice anything different on Sundays? The choir will start coming down to sit with their families after the offertory. If you're a singer and would like to be able to sit with your family during the service, we would love to invite you to do both! Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings, and we offer childcare for anyone attending rehearsal(s).
