Upcoming Events
Here you will find information on upcoming events.
Brown Bag Luncheon
The Brown Bag Luncheon is an informal gathering of folks who share lunch and conversation together. There is no particular agenda, just a change to enjoy one another's company. Our next luncheon will be held on Wednesday, October 16th at noon in room 116. Bring a lunch and we'll take care of the rest!
Adult Weeknight Bible Study
Last spring, Rev. Boles led a four-week Bible study on the verses often associated with homosexuality. The study was well attended and well-received and a request has been made to repeat the study. So, beginning on Tuesday October 1 at 6:30 p.m. we will offer this study again. No advance preparation is required. Just bring your Bible and we will explore these verses and stories together.
Book Club
On Sunday October 20th at 6:00 pm we invite you to join the First UMC Book Club as we discuss “The Women” by Kristin Hannah. This highly acclaimed novel tells the story of a young woman who serves as a nurse in Vietnam and the struggles she faces both in her wartime service and in the years that follow. Come join us in the church library for an evening of lively discussion.
Blessing of the Animals
Our pets are important parts of our families. They are a source of love and comfort to our lives. On Saturday October 5th, First UMC will be offering a Blessing of the Animals in the green space north of the church. You can bring your beloved pet to receive a blessing. Activities begin at 10:00 am. Be sure to share this with your friends and neighbors.
New Member Class
Are you interested in becoming a member of First UMC? We would like to invite you to attend the next new member orientation on Sunday October 20th after worship. We will meet in the Blue Room (we’ll help you find that!) and share some of the exciting ministries and activities going on at First UMC. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact Rev. Boles at hboles@fumccolumbus.org.
Trunk or Treat
Plan on joining us on October 24th from 5:30 – 7:30 for our 3rd annual Truck or Treat event. We are looking for several volunteers for this wonderful outreach opportunity. We need people to help with preparing and serving food, setting up and cleaning up, being active eyes on activities as well as just offering a friendly face. We are also asking for people to decorate their trunks and pass out candy. You will need to have enough candy for 300 children! We will vote on the best decorated Trunk, and you might win bragging rights for the whole year! Can’t make it that night, that’s fine. You can still support the event by bringing some bags of candy on Sunday morning. Please contact Shana Dublan at sdublan@fumccolumbus.org to find out more or sign up!
