Kick-off Sunday to the Fall Church Program

What a terrific outpouring of the Spirit there was in the church today! From the sounds of children on the upper level to the smells of delicious food coming from the Fellowship Hall, the church was alive with people savoring all that God has for us.

The morning began with a kick-off breakfast of biscuits and gravy, donuts, juice, coffee.... oh, my! Margaret Sprenger and her crew really put on a spread, giving everyone who came the energy to do their best!!

At the 10:00 service, the Chancel Choir, under the direction of Marva Schiessler, offered some excellent music and Janet Rosenbaum gave a neat children's message about living, loving and God.

The Confirmation Class got its start today as well - what a terrific bunch of young people! They gathered at the parsonage for a chance to hear what the confirmation process would be like for them. We are really excited about the journey with the next generation of church leaders!!

The afternoon was given over to worship services at the Memorial Health Center and at the Golden Living facility. Nearly 30 residents enjoyed a time of worship with Pastor Charles sharing the message. A big thanks goes to Linda Walter who agreed to serve as the pianist for both services! The folks really enjoyed her playing those good old favorite hymns that they love so well!

Tonight, the first Sunday evening study was held featuring material from "The Wired Word," an on-line publication that Pastor Charles helps to prepare. A good turnout on a chilly evening enjoyed the discussion and the opportunity to understand current events through their faith.

We're off and running here at FUMC; come along and see for yourself!
