This trip is open for all to apply, but space is limited. Submitting an application does not guarantee selection. Applicants will be notified of their status within 5 business days of submission. For more information contact: info@inuapartners.org
You are invited! Please join a new monthly meetup hosted by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Ministry—Kinship Calls, a place to bring what’s on your heart. Each month we will assemble virtually to meet one another wherever we are. We will be honest about what’s weighing us down and what’s lifting us up. We will leverage short video series from The Work of the People to practice curiosity and imagination. And we will share stories and invitations of the ways we are building community in a world that all too often isolates us and drives us apart.
There is space for your full self here, and a firm commitment to seek Christian unity while honoring our differences. This is not a support group for the likeminded or an echo chamber. We seek to be the church by journeying together as the Spirit leads.
Join us on Zoom on the third Monday of each month, beginning with March 17th from 7–8:30PM (we’re pretty sure St. Patrick would be about this). Register below for links and communications, or reach out with any questions at DEI@fumcwp.org.
Sunday, April 13th join our Egg Hunt at 10:10am with activities to follow, including playground fun with snacks, face painters, bounce house, and more. Bring a picnic lunch & blanket for your family and dessert to share. The cost is $20 per family.
Please invite family, friends & neighbors. Join us at the 9 am service prior to the egg hunt for a Palm Parade in honor of Palm Sunday. Or you may participate in the Palm Parade in our 11am Sanctuary service.
Join us on Ash Wednesday, March 5, as we begin the Lenten season. On Ash Wednesday we are offered the opportunity to receive a cross of ashes on our foreheads. We are reminded of the Biblical passage, “You are dust and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19). In the Bible, the imposition of ashes is associated with sorrow over sins.
Our Ash Wednesday Worship Service will take place on March 5 at 7pm in the Sanctuary. This service will also be live streamed on our FUMCWP website and nursery will be available.
If you cannot attend our evening service, you may receive Ashes during these other opportunities:
- Pastors will be on the sidewalk in front of the Sanctuary at FUMCWP and on the Reeves Campus from 8:30am-9:15am for prayer and to administer ashes.
- At the lunch time hour, join Pastor Rachel from 12-1pm in the Marcy Chapel for prayer and the imposition on ashes. This is a come and go time of receiving.
Looking for a new spiritual practice this Lent? Become a prayer partner!
Lent begins Wednesday, March 5th and spans the 6 weeks until Easter. During Lent, we often give up something in order to spend more time with God. However, we can also take up a new practice to grow closer to God and one another.
Prayer partners will be matched based on responses to this registration, and you will receive your prayer partners information by Wednesday, March 5.
We encourage prayer partners to pray for each other weekly, however you can pray as often as you like. We hope you will keep in touch over the 6 weeks of Lent by email, texting, etc. to share prayer concerns and joys. You are not required to meet together in person.
All ages are invited to participate, but children and teens need parental permission.
Parents and Guardians, Volunteers, and interested members are invited to dream with us about Children’s Ministry! This guided brainstorming session will help us discover what we hope our kids KNOW about their faith, FEEL about their faith, and DO with their faith. This conversation will inform our ministry planning so our kids can grow deeper in their faith at each stage of development.
Programming for Children of all ages will be available during the summit.
This year’s Broadway Bound will spotlight the incredible music of Jule Styne! Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with music, dessert, and fellowship—all in support of our Impact Singers and their mission work.
Get Your Tickets in the courtyard on Sunday mornings or during the week from Mary Ann Andrus in the Music Ministry. Funds raised from the show will assist the Impact Singers with their Choir Tour Mission Trip this summer to St. Louis, Missouri.
