Loving, caring, sharing, serving, reaching, through the word of Christ,

First Methodist Morehead City

The Old Testament contains the “advice” of many prophets. These prophets were called to speak forth the wise counsel of God applicable to God’s people in their times and circumstances. Even today, as we begin a new year, it would serve us well to hear again some "prophet-able advice" from the voice of God.

Penguin Plunge 2023

Methodists make great Penguins! Congrats to all who took the plunge and brought home the Civic Organization Award for the most penguins. We are renewed!

Golf Fellowship

Golf Fellowship will be a little different this month. We will meet at 11:15 at the Kountry Kitchen for lunch and devotional and then tee off at 12:26 at Brandywine. All are welcome.

Please feel free to contact John Boney or Spence Cosby with any questions.

CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday school returns this Sunday! We look forward to seeing you at 9:45 after the Children's Sermon in the Rise. New Year, New Signups! Lots of amazing things happening at First Methodist Church in our Kids Ministry Sunday school and Sunday night programming. We need your help with the easy part so click the link to sign up and help out the kids. We cannot wait to see you!

Moms in Prayer

We just had to tell you now about an exciting worldwide event coming up in January.

It’s astounding to see answers to prayer in one Moms in Prayer group, now multiply that by thousands using the same prayer sheet, the same week, and you have the Global Celebration of Prayer. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to unify with other Moms in Prayer groups in more than 150 countries during the week of January 15-21, 2023!

Each Moms in Prayer group will use the same prayer sheet that week, God is Light, crying out to God for children and schools throughout the world. Praying together globally, we will ask the Light of the World to bring light, life, and hope into communities!

Join us for this global event by marking your calendars and telling your Moms in Prayer group by contacting Mandy Bryant at ajjohnso24@yahoo.com.

ALTAR FLOWERS

We have numerous open dates for flowers to be given for use in the Sanctuary. Please contact Nancy Willis at 252-342-2839 or email at njwillis@ec.rr.com.
