United Methodist Men
The Methodist Men have a monthly fellowship on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30pm in Friendship Place.  All men are encouraged and welcome to come!  Check the calendar and newsletter for dates and more information.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on the second Monday of each month in room 103. They knit and pray over shawls that are given to babies at time of baptism, the elderly in care homes, and others in need. All are welcome to come and knit with the group or knit a shawl at your home and bring it to the church for the ministry to distribute.

Check the monthly calendar and newsletter for dates and times and more information.

Fellowship Hall
Please bring a salad dish, or side dish, or a dessert to help complete the meal.  Come for the food, fun, and fellowship each week!  There's something for everyone!

Working Women's Fellowship (WWF)
The WWF is a group of women who gather together for fellowship, fun, prayer, book studies, craft nights, and kid friendly fun nights. We always schedule a babysitter for busy women-on-the-go. We are casual and friendly with lots of discussion ranging from our lives, kids, and jobs, to current theology, church practices, and biblical traditions. Currently we meet once a month based on everyone's schedules, so call the church office or contact Anna Borders for a list of scheduled meetings.

Sew-N-Sews
This group is very busy making quilts for the homebound and for mission agencies. They meet every Tuesday morning in room 102 from 9am-Noon. You are welcome to come join the fun!

First United Methodist Church holds the charter for Cub Pack 350.  The Scouts meet on Monday evening (except school vacations) at 6pm in Fellowship Hall and the scout room.  Please use the east parking lot door to enter the building.
Call or email the church office if you have a child interested in becoming a part of the Boy Scouts!


Come Experience an Alternative Christmas
Saturday, December 5th, 2009
First United Methodist Church
101 E. 1st 620-662-2386

The purpose of the Alternative Christmas Market is to provide people with the opportunity to give Christmas gifts that will bring the true joy of Christmas to the giver, the recipient, and to those who are in need. Each visitor can:
  • Visit information booths to find out more about the various nonprofit agencies that help others in our community.
  • Register for door prizes at different booths.
  • Decide which agencies you want to support.
  • Support your favorite cause(s) with financial contribution by check, cash, or credit card.
  • Make your gift in memory of a loved one or in honor of someone who “has everything!”
  • Purchase gifts from Ten Thousand Villages.
  • Eat a modestly priced lunch made available by the United Methodist Women.
  • Bring your children and grandchildren to attend the Alternative Christmas Market to help them learn about giving to the community.
  • Contribute even if you cannot be there that day with an “early bird” contribution! (Contact First United Methodist Church to do so.)
  • Learn more about the true meaning of Christmas and giving to others!

    If your organization is interested in being represented at the Market in 2009, please contact the church office no later than July 31st. Thank you!!
