To help our congregation go deeper in our prayer lives, we are providing a daily prayer guide for your use which will begin on the first Sunday of Lent, March 9.

Farragut High School Winter Guard Dress Rehearsal & Reception!

Our church has been honored to host the Farragut High School Winter Guard flag corps as they practiced in our space. Now, as they prepare for their final performance, we invite our church family to come and support them at their Final Dress Rehearsal on Thursday, March 27, at 6:00 PM in our worship center,

Following their performance, we will celebrate these talented students with a reception, and we need your help! We are asking our congregation to provide finger foods for the event. If you would like to contribute, please bring a plate of ready-to-serve snacks, such as sandwiches, fruit, cheese and crackers, or cookies. You can sign up at the Welcome Desk. For any questions or additional information, please contact Lisa Lankford or call the church office.

This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage and uplift these young performers before they showcase their hard work in competition. Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you there!

Join Us for Holy Week at First Farragut UMC

Holy Week is a sacred time when we journey with Jesus through His final days, from the joy of His triumphal entry to the sorrow of the cross and the victory of the resurrection. We invite you to walk this path with us, reflecting on Christ’s love, sacrifice, and triumph over death.

🔹 Palm Sunday | April 13 | 10:30 AM – Celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem as we wave palm branches and proclaim, “Hosanna” during our Sunday morning worship experience.

🔹 Maundy Thursday | April 17 | 6:30 PM – This experiential service will immerse us in the story of Jesus’ last meal with His disciples, inviting us to engage our senses as we remember Christ’s command to love one another.

🔹 Good Friday | April 18 | 6:30 PM – This service of worship will give us pause as we stand at the foot of the cross, contemplating the depth of Christ’s sacrifice for us.

🔹 Easter Sunrise Service | April 20 | 7:00 AM – Gather with us at the outdoor chapel (to the left of the main entrance) as we welcome the dawn of resurrection morning with prayer, scripture, and song.

🔹 Easter Worship | April 20 | 10:30 AM – Celebrate the risen Christ with joyful worship, uplifting music, and the powerful message of hope and new life. He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!

During the April 20, 2025 week, First Farragut will restart hosting Family Promise families. Family Promise is a national nonprofit organization that helps families with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. They offer a variety of services, including food, shelter, and classes on family stabilization. To perform this mission, First Farragut needs volunteers to launder linen, setup and breakdown guest rooms, prepare an evening meal, evening host, and overnight host (will sleep over night)

More details on volunteer task are located in a notebook at the welcome desk. Sign up board is on the main hallway. Contact Montgomery Lokey 865-438-6308 for specific questions.
