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!
