  • Longest Night Service

    The longest night of the year happens at the time of the winter solstice. This year, it arrives on Thursday, December 21st, which is the date of First United’s Longest Night service, at 6:00 p.m. in the Chapel. This time of worship is for members of our church family, along with our friends and neighbors in the community, who may be experiencing sadness or grieving a loss, and struggling to find comfort and joy during the Advent and Christmas seasons. The Longest Night service offers a reflective, sacred space, holding out healing and hope.

  • The Table December 13th

    5:30-7pm

    We will all receive a very special Christmas gift on Wednesday, December 13, when master storyteller Donald Davis delights us with “Stories For the Holidays” at The Table. Donald, a retired United Methodist Minister, grew up in Waynesville, where he heard all kinds of tales and stories of his family and neighbors. As a preacher, he found that he loved to weave such entertaining stories into his sermons. After retiring, Donald became a fulltime storyteller. In the years since, he has become one of the most famous storytellers in the world. He has performed at the World’s Fair, on National Public Radio, ABC, in many countries, and he is a headliner each year at the International Storytelling Festival. His stories captivate children, youth, and adults. You do not want to miss this! Invite friends, make your Reservation Here, and come laugh, cry, and celebrate the coming of Christmas with FUMC at The Table. The menu features a Christmas Ham Dinner. Cost for this special program and dinner is $15 for adults, $5 for children under 10, and $35 maximum per family.

  • Men's Prayer Breakfast

    Men will meet the first Tuesday of each month for breakfast, fellowship, and time for prayer in the Gettman Room from 9:00 am - 10:30 am. Reservations are not required.

  • Adopt a Room and Support FUMC’s Green Initiatives

    FUMC recently installed solar panels to lower our carbon footprint and to reduce our electric bills. Another Green Initiative we are undertaking is to replace fluorescent and incandescent lamps with LED equivalent bulbs. LED lighting advantages include energy efficiency, zero toxic elements, and longer life.

    “Adopt” your room (Sunday School, mission, etc.) and help fund the conversion to LED lights, $65-$70 per fixture. Identify your donations, “XX Class, Room #, LED Replacements.”
