NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION
Are you interested in becoming a member of First Church? Are you curious about
what it looks like to be an outpost of the Kingdom of God? We believe being a
part of a member of a church is deeply important for each person to flourish in
the journey with Jesus. Join us at Rt. 8 on January 23 @ 1pm on four consecutive
Sundays. Register at the Hub (Rt. 8 Campus), Welcome Center (Downtown Campus),
or online at www.butlerfumc.com/newmembers.
MERRY METHODISTS MEET (3M’S)
The 3M’s will meet on Thursday, January 20, at noon in the Lower Fellowship Hall
of the Downtown Campus for a presentation about scams by State Trooper
James Long. RSVP to Erma Summerville at 724.996.4348 by Monday, January 17
to reserve your catered lunch.
DESSERTS NEEDED FOR COMMUNITY MEAL
Every Friday afternoon at 5 pm, First Church serves our neighborhood with a
community meal. There is a need for desserts to go along with the meals. We can
accept donations of cookies, cakes, and pies. All donations can be dropped off
at the church office during the week and before 3 pm on Fridays. Thank you in
