Greetings to you in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

The Pastor and congregation of First United Methodist Church welcomes you to our website. We hope you will enjoy your tour through our information and we look forward to greeting you in person. If you have any questions, or, simply would like to speak with the Pastor, please feel free to call the Pastor at the church office, 860-423-1130.

As a community of the church of Jesus Christ, we would like to get to know you and we invite you to join us in worship on Sunday mornings. We offer two worship services each Sunday.

Our day of worship begins with an 8:30 a.m. Contemporary/Non-Traditional worship service. This service offers contemporary praise and traditional hymns. The service is casual and relaxed and we invite you and your children to join us.

Following the 8:30 service, we offer Sunday School classes for all ages, adults included. Children meet downstairs in our beautiful Fellowship Hall. Our Superintendent and Teachers lead the children in a special worship time before going to their individual classes. Adults hold their Sunday School class in the classroom just outside the Sanctuary.

At 10:45 we worship in more of a traditional style. This service offers the blessing of our choir. A worship leader assists the Pastor each week at the 10:45 service. Both the 8:30 and 10:45 services are lectionary-based.

FUMC is a family-oriented, mission-minded Christian community, supporting a variety of social agencies in the local area. At FUMC, you will find a loving and caring community offering Pastoral Care and a church family ready to receive you into the fellowship of Jesus Christ.

I was glad when they said, let us go into the house of the Lord!
