Text Box: I'd like to welcome everyone back from summer vacations and traveling.  Fall is a great time to begin participating in one of our Music Ministry groups.  We have several to choose from, and all of our groups welcome new members.    Sacred Dance groups; adult, youth and children all rehearse on Sunday mornings.  Myrna Evans and Holli Benthusen are our sacred dance leaders.  The rehearsal dates and times will be listed in the Sunday bulletins.  Youth Singers also rehearse on Sunday mornings and will be listing their beginning rehearsal dates and times in the Sunday bulletins as well.

Fall Music Ministry

Marge Dilling is our Youth Singers leader.

    Hand Bell Choir will resume rehearsals on Wednesday, September 7th at 6:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. 

No previous ringing experience is necessary, but music reading is helpful.  Beginning and experienced ringers are both welcome!!

     Chancel Choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings also after hand bells at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.   

They have been rehearsing since their break in July.  So, come on by and check us out!! 

Beginning and experienced singers are welcomed with this group also.

 

Anyone with instrumental experience should leave a message, with your phone number, for Mary Kay Messenger at the church office. 

We like to enhance our worship services with instruments when possible.

We'll be starting to rehearse Christmas music before you know it, so don't put us off. 

We're looking forward to meeting YOU at one of our next rehearsals !!!

 Musically Yours,

Mary Kay Messenger

Holistic Small Groups Ministry

By Steven Skelley

Our Small Group Ministry launches in September, 2005 with more than a half dozen small groups.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holistic Small Leaders participated in 5 weeks of specialized ministry training.

Holistic small groups are disciple-making communities whose goal is to reach the unchurched, meet individual needs, develop each person according to their God-given gifts, raise leaders to sustain the growth of the church and perform a mission. Like healthy body cells, holistic small groups are designed to grow and multiply. Our Holistic Groups include multiple Bible Studies, Men’s and Women’s Prayer, Healthy Body and Spirit, Current Affairs, and Cancer Survivors.

Check the church calendar to find a holistic small group for you!

 

     Tom and Nancy Pearo, who faithfully perform our SHARE  ministry here at First UMC, have informed us of SHARE Day at Devil Rays baseball on Sunday, Oct 2. 

     Tickets are only $5. We plan on taking the church youth already.

     Would you like to go too? If we have enough interest, we could rent a bus and take 30 or more people for a fun day trip.

     Contact Steve Skelley as soon as possible if you’d be interested in joining us.
