Share the Joy at First United Methodist!

It is an amazing story that has been told for over two thousand years. On that first Christmas night, God sent His own son to earth in the form of a baby, to offer us the gift of eternal life and a relationship with Him. It truly was a holy night. The great news is that God was with us then, and He still is today! This Christmas, join us at First United Methodist Church to learn more about the Christmas story and how the baby in the stable still changes lives today!

Rediscover Christmas with Us!
