SUMMARY:Confirmation Sunday
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday in worship two students will be confirmed and one baptized. You may recall we had the strange experience of canceling worship due to the power outages in May and postponing confirmation\, so we look forward doubly to this opportunity! Our text for the day recalls the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin told in response to some Pharisees complaining that Jesus was eating and spending time with people of “doubtful reputation” (The Message Translation). Jesus told stories in response to demonstrate the extent of God’s welcome to all. And being parables\, there was also a twist – there was always a twist. Are we the lost or are we the ones complaining about the extent of God’s welcome? The good news\, all belong and all are welcome in the fold of God’s love.

SUMMARY:September 21\, 2025 Worship
DESCRIPTION:“ASP Sunday” \nSixteenth Sunday after Pentecost \nIn July FUMC sent a large group of youth and adults to Johnson County Tennessee for another summer mission trip with Appalachia Service Project. This year’s theme verse was Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world…” Our worship will feature participants from our trip telling the story of how they experienced the light of Christ and shined the light of Christ through photos\, storytelling and music. A special offering will be held to support next year’s ASP trip.

SUMMARY:Sept. 28th Worship: Baptism Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost with Baptism \nAs we gather this Sunday\, we are invited to reflect on the deep hunger within us all—a hunger not for material wealth\, but for compassion\, connection\, and purpose. Let us come together to share in the richness of community\, to open our hearts to one another\, and to seek a life overflowing with grace and love. In this sacred space\, may we find the courage to confront our own fears and desires\, and commit ourselves to living with intention and generosity. Together\, let us embrace the call to respond to the needs around us\, to share what we have\, and to be a voice for justice and compassion in a world that longs for hope. Join us as we worship\, pray\, and lift our voices in gratitude for the opportunities we have to make a difference. It is not too late for us—let us take this moment to ask ourselves: How will we respond? Come\, let us worship together as we welcome a child into our church community through baptism.
