Thank you for visiting our website. There are a variety of new activities that may be of interest to you. With the guidance of our Senior Pastor Eugene Strange and staff, we are currently reaching out to the local Richmond community in many ways. Our current path is leading us toward building a Multi-Ministry Center behind the sanctuary to (1) reach out to those who currently are unchurched and (2) to allow for additional expansion of existing programs and (3) provide for the implemetation of new activities and programs. We welcome you to read about our current and future ministries and hope "you will come and join with us".
The Fall/Winter 2008 Little Ones’ Consignment Sale will be held on August 1 & 2. LOCS is a sale held here at the church twice a year in which children’s clothing and other child-related items are sold. LOCS proceeds go to benefit those in need in our community as well as internationally. We are requesting help from the congregation to make our sale a success once again.
Welcome Center in the Pews
We now have a "Welcome Center"” at our finger tips! In January the Outreach Team had a dream of providing our members and visitors with brief "hands on" information about our ministries. Thanks to the efforts of Marva Fassas, Rindy Russell, and George Chasse, our dream has become a reality! CHECK IT OUT!! We really have a lot going on! If you are sitting next to a visitor, give them a warm greeting and offer them a welcome packet!
Garage Sale Extravaganza
The First United Methodist Men’s Ministry is having a Garage Sale Extravaganza on Saturday, August 9. The men will help you by purging your basement and attic of clutter while you get the added bonus of supporting your church. What a deal!
At the Garage Sale Extravaganza, you will find jewelry, clothing, bicycles, tools, furniture, sporting equipment, household items, and many yet-to-be discovered treasures! In this age of "going green," there is no better recycling than to have another family use what yours cannot.
The proceeds will support the Multi-Ministry Center and other ministry projects of our church. We are very excited about the sale and the opportunity to reach out to our community. We will start collecting items Saturday, July 26 and store them in the Fellowship Hall. If you cannot bring your items to the church, please call Kelly Upchurch, 623-4080 or Phil Thompson, 623-9800 and they will arrange to pick up your contributions.
The men of the church want to thank you ahead of time for your support of this ministry.
