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
(B. D. Prewer)
Let us pray that God move our hearts and wills to follow Christ: Loving God, we thank you for all who walk by faith. There is always spiritual light for those who wish to see.
As we pause and revere you, stabilize our faith and give us strength. 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.
Sunday Reflection upon John 3:1-18
To be born from above is to step into a spiritual renewal that streams from God through the Holy Spirit. This rebirth is not a fleeting event, but a continual unfolding. Like a gentle breeze, the Holy Spirit moves quietly among us, subtly reshaping how we perceive and relate to those around us through the eyes of God’s compassion.
This awakening inspires us to the kindness that springs from a heart made pure. When compassion seems far away, pause and notice its absence, then ask God to flood your spirit with divine love. Let us keep our hearts open to the wonder of being born from above.
