Rev. Patricia Farris Column

January 2022 Horizons

On the other side of Christmas, during the season of Epiphany, a New Year begins. The stars are still brightly shining and in that luminescent sky, so the story goes, one star shines so brightly that it guided the Magi to the manger and opened their eyes to see the newborn babe as God’s gift of the Messiah....

Join us this morning at the 37th annual Rev. Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration, held virtually by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Westside Coalition! The event begins at 9 a.m. and will feature keynote speaker, LZ Granderson. There will also be live music and spoken words. This year's theme is "the time is always right to do what is right."
For more than half a century, United Methodists have observed Human Relations Day, a churchwide special Sunday in recognition of the message Jesus demonstrated during his life: all of God’s children are important. Here at First UMC, we celebrate the missions and outreach programs we participate in that help bridge the gap between church and community. We are all family.
Greetings families! We hope to see you this weekend for Sunday School In-Person at 10 a.m. on the Church Playground with Ms. Sandra, Ms. Dot and Ms. Jamie. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Turning water into wine. @bekahpaints gives us such a beautiful image to go with one of the best known miracles of Jesus.
