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!

If you’d like to participate in this event, contact Kristen Gossett (kkgossett@aol.com or 940-766-4231, x225).

The sanctuary was packed for this production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat that brought together 48 performers – not to mention directors, stage and tech crew, and others who worked behind the scenes to bring this great event to fruition.

If you missed the performance, you missed a really fun time as the inspirational story of the Joseph was told in song!  It was great to see so many people from our community in our church who do not usually attend here.  What a great outreach! Special thanks to Judy Braddy for set painting!

Check out pictures from this great event, thanks to DeEdra Folmar!

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.

On October 24, 2010, thirteen of our youth attended a Chorister’s Guild choir workshop led by Anton Armstrong of St. Olaf College at St. Andrew United Methodist in Plano, Texas.  That means our Chapel Choir sang with 21 churches – over 600 singers!  What a GREAT experience!  Check out pictures below!

“Next time you gaze at . . . the Last Supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci, note the ripple effect: Christ in the
center and the ebb and flow of movement as it ripples out from Christ past the disciples – all grouped in threes, their posture and positions accentuating that ripple effect.”

-Lois Gagne

Although our Music Ministry at FUMC is not a Da Vince masterpiece, God uses it to create a similar ripple effect in many lives. Your music produces vibrations and resonations far beyond one’s imaginations.

Thank you for your “waves.”and to all who participate in the Music Ministry of our church, especially during Holy
Week. Thank you for your ripple effect of action, passion, and Divine Blessing!
