Mission of the Month: Family Ministries
Through May 2, our Mission of the Month focuses on our Family Ministries program at LaGrange First Methodist. This program seeks to engage families with children from birth to 18 years of age through regular programming, special events, and meaningful outreach activities in our community such as our the Bed Build held last fall and the recent community Easter Egg Hunt. You may support the team in two specific ways.
1. Volunteer: As more church activities resume in the coming months, the need for volunteers has never been greater. If you would be interested in volunteering with Student Ministries (6th-12th grade), please contact Youth Minister Will Locke at will@lagrangefumc.org. If you would be interested in volunteering with Kids’ Ministry (age 4 to 5th grade) or helping with future Family Ministry Outreach events, please email Children’s Minister Jeanne Jones.
2. Donate: Gifts made by check or online to “Missions” will help us prepare for First United Methodist Summer Camp that begins on June 1! After a summer off due to COVID-19, Summer Camp will be back and better than ever with fun, educational, and Christ-centered activities for children in our community. Donations will allow us to offer scholarships in partnership with organizations like Circles of Troup County to families who are hard-pressed to find adequate childcare this summer. In addition, funds will be used to make immediate playground enhancements to prepare s safe place for campers to gather, play, and learn. More extensive playground renovations will be made in the future as part of our overall campus facilities improvement plan.
Thanks in advance for helping us connect families in our community with the love of Jesus Christ!

Financial Giving
As of Sunday, April 4, we have received 101.2% of our anticipated giving year-to-date based on our 13-year giving model. Thank you for your faithfulness to Christ and His Church!
Acolytes Needed
We are in great need of acolytes for the 11:00 a.m. service. Students in fourth or fifth grade through 12th grade and older are welcome. If you would like to acolyte with your church friends, we can make that happen by working on the scheduling together. Acolytes need to be strong enough to carry the processional crosses and torches. Questions? Text or call Nicole Kostial at 706.957.7624 or email her.
