  • That form though. #fcumc #fcumcpicnic #cornholeskillz #notjustapreacher
  • LIVE ACTION. Blessed by the food, fellowship, and beautiful farm to hold our annual #fcumc picnic. Barbecue is straight up ministry, y'all.
  • Confession: I do not say "picnic" normally. (Thanks, Yogi Bear!) But no matter how you say it, our churchwide pic(a)nic is always a great time full of delicious food and delightful fellowship!⠀ .⠀ This year, in addition to bringing a dish to share, we are asking each family to bring one Hygiene Kit to donate to @UMCOR for #HurricaneRelief. These kits super easy to assemble, and offer a quick hands-on ministry experience for your family! Check out {www.umcor.org} for the full Hygiene Kit items and assembly instructions.⠀ .⠀ We hope to see you there!⠀ .⠀ #fcumc #fcumcyouth #fountainkids #heybooboo
  • We at #FCUMC know that in order to be the hands and feet of Jesus, we need the LITERAL hands and feet of our awesome congregation!⠀ .⠀ Because we LOVE (seriously, we love you) our many volunteers and want to make it super easy to donate your (limited) time and (enormous) talent, we are now on @signupdotcom!⠀ .⠀ Check out our sign-up page at {http://signup.com/go/TEAOJAG} for a growing list of how you can get plugged in!⠀ .⠀ Thank you, we love you, let's get together and serve this world!
  • On Sunday, pastor @revamyaycock challenged us to choose hope.⠀ .⠀ In Exodus, we read the story of Moses, drifting as an infant down the Nile until the Pharoah's daughter finds him and spares him, raising him as her own.⠀ .⠀ We read of all of the choices in those few passages of Scripture; the Pharoah's choice built on fear, a young Hebrew mother's choice wrapped in a delicate hope, an Egyptian princess's choice filled with compassion.⠀ .⠀ And God's choice, as Amy preached, "to work through people who have no obvious power to accomplish His plan."⠀ .⠀ When our actions and beliefs and bold love foster hope and forsake fear, we are choosing God's way. We are choosing His plan of redemption, of filling this world with healing.⠀ .⠀ How will you choose hope today?⠀ .⠀ #tuesdaytruth #fcumc #umc #unitedmethodist #scripture #choosehope
  • There have been quite a lot of happenings going on in our church family these past few weeks. Including #PromotionSunday, #BlessingoftheBackpacks, a farewell to our #fountainkids interns as they begin their careers, #baptisms, and more, our calendar has been FULL. . Meanwhile, in this country and around the world, we see tragic headlines, heartbreaking stories, evidence of a hurting world. It becomes necessary to declare God's goodness, His intentional redemption of our collective brokenness. . We struggle sometimes, as a church and as the Church, to move those declarations into action, active work to usher in God's healing as we join alongside the Holy Trinity as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit fulfill the Good News. . And then - sometimes - we get to witness a new and growing generation of young believers go out, their own fresh understanding of a timeless God a salve on the wounds of this world. . May we continue to declare God's goodness, in word, in deed, and in the legacy of our children. Yes, and amen.
  • For us followers of Jesus Christ, there exists a tension between understanding the depravity of our own human condition and believing God when He redeems us as righteous. . Between understanding the brokenness and tragedy in this world is a direct result of our own sinfulness and believing God when He offers grace and hope to every one of us. . Between understanding the sadness, the hurting, the anxiety and the heartache are so very real and believing God when He promises His tender nearness. . For some in our congregation, the past few hours, days, weeks, and/or months have felt like one long night. Would you join me in praying Compline, from the Book of Common Prayer, as we seek His rest and look toward His promise that every long night eventually gives way to the dawn? . #fcumc #prayer #commonbookofprayer #compline #rest
  • TONIGHT! Our Wednesday night activities for the whole church kick off! Join us in the gymnastics beginning at 5:30 for our Fellowship meal (that Shipman lasagna though, AM I RIGHT?). . Then our BRAND SPANKING NEW Adult Formation classes, Pathways, will meet beginning at 6:30pm. We are so excited to show you what @revamyaycock has been up to all summer long! NOTE: Pathway 3 led by Randy will not meet tonight - first class meeting will be next Wednesday, August 23. . Full schedule in the comments. Be there or be square. (Just kidding, we don't think you're a square, please come.) . #fcumc #umc #fcumcyouth #fountainkids #discipleship #LASAGNA
