You won’t want to miss this special service of lessons and carols with a live nativity brought to you by the Choirs of FUMC.

Also, come early (9:00-10:15am) to share tasty Christmasy breakfast treats at “Cafe Le Paul: Advent Edition” in the Atrium.  Bring any breakfast item you like to share!

This fun musical was originally written by Andrew Lloyd Weber for a friend’s son’s prep school production. It is the Old Testament story of Jacob and his 12 sons (including their wives and children), and, of course, Joseph’s coat . Pharoah and Mr. & Mrs. Potiphar help the plot to thicken!

The Music Ministry of FUMC will present this multi-generational musical with over 45 children, youth, and adults in the cast with many more assisting on costumes, tech crew, etc.

Sunday, October 2, 2011 is World Communion Sunday where we acknowledge and celebrate our solidarity with Christians around the world.  We have a couple of special events happening that day to commemorate it:

• Holy Communion
  at both 8:30am & 10:30am Worship Services.
  An offering will be received at the altar rail that will benefit the United Methodist initiative, Imagine No Malaria, an effort to eradicate malaria on the continent of Africa by the year 2015.

• Around the World Pot Luck Lunch
  All are invited to bring all types of food from around the world (i.e. German, Swedish, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, American, etc.) for a culinary celebration as we acknowledge our solidarity with Christians all around the world on this special day!

We hope to see you there!

Join us for this special service of remembrance of the tragic events of September 11, 2001.  We’ll begin with a special time of worship and prayer in Fellowship Hall at 6:00pm.  Following the 30-minute service, we’ll transition to the Prothro Family Atrium for a meal of “Unity Soup.”  We promise that you’ll be home in time to see the Cowboys kick-off at 7:20pm.

For the soup, please, bring a canned good the morning of September 11 and place it in marked containers.  For those with dietary concerns, we’ll have 3 types of soup:

• Beef;
• Chicken; and
• Veggie.
