SUMMARY:June 28 Worship Service - Pride Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Scripture is flowing with women who sing. Voicing prayers\, praises\, and pleas. Composing powerful messages about courage\, community\, compassion\, and justice. In Exodus\, Miriam’s song guides the Israelites safely across the sea and through the wilderness\, sealing her eternal legacy as a singing prophet. In the Gospels\, we learn the lyrical story of Mary and Martha\, whose words and wanderings with Jesus point us to a musical message about the roles we hold in creating God’s kingdom and the love we are called to share with the world. Like these grandmothers of the faith\, our own grandmothers shape our beliefs and stir our questions\, teaching us the notes for turning bitter water into sweet refrain. As we worship\, we will remember and re-imagine inherited songs. Come\, let us celebrate the Love of God as we welcome Rebecca Wilson as our preacher and celebrate Pride Sunday.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, July 5 Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Americans Make Great Neighbors: Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary – A 4-Week Sermon Series on Service\, Freedom\, Innovation\, and Diversity: \nWeek 1: Freedom. \nThis series explores what it looks like for followers of Jesus to live as good neighbors in our communities. When neighbor love takes root on the street level\, it strengthens the whole nation one household at a time. Each week explores a neighborly virtue that can strengthen our shared life: serving others\, stewarding freedom\, using creativity for good\, and honoring the diverse people God has made. Grounded in our Wesleyan roots\, we remember that all our outward movements of love are a response to God’s grace and love that comes first to us. Our aim isn’t to coerce or force our ways upon others but to live out Christlike love in the everyday places where we live\, work\, and worship\, to build a vibrant community that is concerned for the well-being of all.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, July 12 Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Americans Make Great Neighbors week 2 – Service. “Love Moves Toward” ~ ASP TEAM Commissioning ~  \nWe continue our series Americans Make Great Neighbors\, exploring what it looks like for followers of Jesus to live as good neighbors in our communities. Our guiding texts will come from Philippians Chapter two where we are encouraged to “…have the mind of Christ…” along with the story of The Good Samaritan. Pastor Matt Weiler will preach a message called “Love Moves Toward” and the 2026 Appalachia Service Project Team will be commissioned for service. Also Ruth Butters\, our Youth and Young Adult Resident will share reflections on their two years of service with FUMC. Together we will hear stories of love moving towards need and we’ll be sent to do the same.

SUMMARY:Sunday July 19 Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday\, we celebrate the third week of our Americans Make Great Neighbors worship series. The theme Creating for the Common Good remembers that the God who created the heavens and the earth is still creating\, renewing\, and inspiring life among us. As followers of Jesus\, we are invited to notice the gifts God has placed in our hands: our skills\, ideas\, resources\, imagination\, and compassion. We are called to offer these gifts in service to our neighbors. Grounded in God’s grace and our Wesleyan call to love in action\, we come to worship with holy curiosity. This holy curiosity invites us to use our individual and community creativity to help build a more vibrant community concerned for the well-being of all.
