  Do you ever feel like you are the only parent in this world that is having difficulty with disciplining your child? Do you feel like no matter what you do you don’t get the outcomes you desire from your child when they misbehave?

     You are not alone. All children have times in their life when things feel overwhelming. This is when the behaviors we would rather not see come about. One way in which we can teach children how to react and communicate is through teaching Positive Discipline.

     What is Positive Discipline? It is a way in which parents and caregivers can let children know what behaviors they expect from them both at home and in society by rewarding good behavior and having meaningful consequences for undesirable behavior.

     First United Methodist Church will be hosting a Positive Discipline course for any caregiver who would like to learn more about the subject and ways to help children in their care. You can sign up here for our Saturday, February 25th seminar at 10:00 to 11:00am presented by the Director of FUMC Weekday School Erin Holbert. The cost is $20.00 per individual and $30.00 for two people. We look forward to seeing you there. 

For the next few weeks and weekends, our staff/ handicap parking lots will be used as a staging ground to install solar panels. We are excited to be able to produce clean energy while allowing the church to reduce operating expenses. Thank you for your patience while we make these improvements to the church. Once the staff/handicap parking lot is open again we will send out a notification.

You’re invited – and bring your friends! We will enjoy some live music, get to know our friends at True Ridge and what they do for our Hispanic neighbors, and put our best decorating skills to work, making Valentines for our Backpack children and True Ridge neighbors. Will Cupid make an appearance? Who knows? Come find out! Make your reservation by noon on February 13.

Menu:

Shrimp Scampi served over Angel Hair Pasta, Roasted Asparagus

Garlic Butter Breadsticks, Caesar Salad, and Assorted Desserts.

$10 for adults; $5 for children; $25 family maximum.

Calling all elementary kids and youth of FUMC Hendersonville! Here is a great way to serve our church!

We are looking for you to help with reading scripture, greeting, being an usher, carrying the cross, or lighting the candles. You can choose what you would like to do at either of the services.

Sign up here and then we will contact you as to what you would like to do at the service.

The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, which falls on February 22 this year. Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance, reflection, and receiving God’s grace through a worship service of prayer, meditation, and the sign of the cross on our foreheads made from ashes. It is a moving and meaningful time of worship. FUMC will have two Ash Wednesday services that day: at noon and 6:00pm. All ages are invited to participate as we thank God together for the Lord’s mercy, forgiveness, and love.

Lenten concerts will be offered on Tuesdays from 12:15-12:45 pm in the Sanctuary starting February 28th. Come and go as you can for a time of meditation and music. Michael S. Brannon will play the organ for all concerts. Others musicians will perform on the piano, clarinet and other instruments.

Find all the dates and more information here.
