SUMMER IS OVER

Well schools are starting back anyway. And the church programs are starting back. When I was teaching school, administrators told us we could start over and the mistakes we made the year before were behind us. I think church can be like that too. Perhaps you didn’t avail yourself to the opportunities the church offered you last year, but now you can start over and make this the Fall that you get into the programs of the church. At FUMC, we have something for everyone. Here are just a few:

Chancel Choir - Rehearsals begin Wednesday, August 14 at 7:10 pm, in the Music Suite. Children’s Choirs begin August 14 at 6:15 p.m. dur ing Wednesday Night Supper. Hand bells resume rehearsal Tuesday August 13 at 4:30 pm. K.I.C.K.S. kicks off Sunday August 11 with a parent’s meeting at 4:00.

Harbour Youth begins Sunday August 11 with a parent’s meeting at 3:30 p.m.

Wednesday Night Suppers begin Wednesday August 14 at 5:45 pm. You must make reservations by noon on Monday to eat. If you don’t cancel, we ask that you still pay.

Fifties Plus meets the second Tuesday of each month with the next one on August 12 at noon.

Bible studies are meeting on Monday night and Thursday mornings.

Sunday School classes are meeting at 9:45 and 11:00.

These are just some of the programs you can be a part of. You can find a complete list of the opportunities in a brochure in the Narthex. Let’s join together and make this the best Fall ever at FUMC. Blessings to All, Steve

Children's Corner

The click of mechanical pencils… the snap of a composition notebook opening for the first time… finding last year’s lunch box – and realizing someone left a cutie in there – and calendars marked with teacher orientations are all indications that it is AUGUST! In the busyness there is relief, because you can finally have that normal schedule again. Get back into a rhythm of school and work and yes – church!

We are back! It was great to see most of the kids here at church this past week, and to see Sunday School rooms full and buzzing with activity. THIS SUNDAY is our Back-to-School kick-off party with K.I.C.K.S.! From 4 – 6 pm the kids will be able to hangout, play games, do crafts and learn about Jesus each Sunday evening with K.I.C.K.S. (Kids In Christ Keep Serving). We will have our parent meeting at 4:00 this Sunday. If you are unable to make it, please shoot me an email so I can make sure you have all the info! With joy,

The United Methodist Women will be hosting the Wednesday Night Supper Program. Our focus this year will be continuing

with the 150 year history of the United Methodist Women. You will have an opportunity to hear stories of UMW that have traveled to many other countries around the world and how they have made a difference. Methodist Women have made a difference then and are continuing to make a difference today.

It is crazy to think that summer vacation is finished and most schools are back in session. We have had a wonderful time in Youth this summer making memories, serving, and growing togeth-er! We are very excited for the things to come, and we are ready to get back to a regular schedule of meeting with the youth each Sun-day night. Our Fall Kick-Off is THIS Sunday, August 11th, at 4:00. We will have a brief parent meeting at 3:30 to review the calendar, sign new release forms, and answer any questions. If you have a child in 6th - 12th grade, please make it a priority to attend this informational meeting. As a reminder, we have Youth Sunday School every week at 11:00. We are currently working our way through the book of Matthew. Now is the perfect time to get back into the rhythm of being at church every Sunday morning and afternoon. We can't wait to see all the youth there!! - Tate & Ashley Welling
