I welcome you to First United Methodist Church (FUMC). I pray that our worship leads you to an awareness of God’s presence in your life and among us.
If you are looking for a Church home, I hope you find First UMC to be that place. Our Church doors and communion table are open to you.
Sincerely in Christ’s love,
Rev. Mark B. McFadden
Pastor
In Luke 24:13–35, two disciples walk the road to Emmaus, heartbroken and confused after the crucifixion. A stranger joins them, but they don’t see who He really is until the very end.
It leads us to a life-changing question: “Would You Recognize Him?”
Sometimes Jesus is walking right beside us in our grief, our confusion, or our daily routine—but our eyes are kept from seeing Him. We’ll explore what causes our "spiritual blindness" and how we can prepare our hearts to recognize His presence in our own lives today.
Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or you’re just curious about who He is, there is a seat at the table for you. Come as you are!
“Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him...” — Luke 24:31

Let us pray to our living God that in Jesus he show us the road of life: Father, you have sent us Jesus to be our way to you, and through the Holy Spirit, Jesus walks with us on the road to you. Give us the food we need for the journey, the bread of life, Jesus himself, until we reach that eternal home. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer is at the very heart of the ecumenical movement. Jesus prayed that we – his followers – may all be one. When we pray with and for one another, we can feel God’s gift of unity.
