Your support throughout 2021 made a real difference in our mission and ministries. Even with the ups-and-downs of the pandemic, our Tuesday Ministry Outreach, our Children and Family Ministries, and our worship life - both in-person and online - continued to thrive because of you! Thank you!
We hope you will keep First United Methodist Church in mind in your end-of year giving plans! All pledges and special gifts must be received by the Church Office by 12/31/2021 to be reflected as 2021 charitable contributions. Contributions by mail must be postmarked by December 31. Online giving is available at any time. Thank you again for all you do for Ocala First UMC!
Reading scripture together has been a central part of the Christian faith since the beginning (Acts 2:42). In 2022, we will spend the whole year reading through the Bible together.
How do I participate?
Commit to completing the daily readings:
The best way is to purchase The Bible Year devotional book which provides a reading plan, short reflections, and summaries of key themes to enrich your reading. You can purchase a hard copy or eBook from Cokesbury.com or Amazon.com or you can purchase one from the church office for $17.
Sign-up for our Bible Year email list for reflections from our Pastors and others throughout the year. These reflections will supplement what is found in the Devotional Guide.

Do you have an existing small group that is interested to participating in the Bible Year? Or would you be interested in starting a new small group with your friends, co-workers, or family? Contact Pastor David (david@fumcocala.org) for a Leader’s Guide.
Worship with us each Sunday!
All sermons during 2022 will follow the reading plan, digging deeper into scripture and applying key Biblical themes to our daily life.
We will also publish the weekly reading list every Sunday and offer encouragement to help keep you on track.
