Mar. 5 – Ash Wednesday Service Tonight @ 6pm in the Sanctuary  (nursery available)

Why Do We Observe Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday is a Christian holiday honored for well over ten centuries. The distinctive feature of an Ash Wednesday service is the imposition of ashes placed on the foreheads of worshipers as a reminder of our mortality and consistent need for turning back to God. “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Despite its solemnity, however, Ash Wednesday is not intended to be a somber occasion. Rather, it marks the beginning of a season of anticipation. Together we acknowledge that we need a Savior. Together, we enter the Lenten season, preparing for His arrival on Easter.

Feb. 28 – We’re having a concert tonight! Connections is coming to First Methodist to put on a concert benefitting UMCOR – the United Methodist Committee on Relief. The fun starts at 7! The concert is free and family friendly. A nursery will be available for kids under three years.
