Jan '19

First United Methodist Church is a place…

Where the gentle hand of God touches the wounded hearts of people.

Where guilt and shame do not live.

Where we are wanting to make room for others who might wish to worship here.

Where we are seeking to live in an ever-changing relationship with each other and our community.

It’s a simple message for a difficult time. We don’t really need more complexity in our lives. Here at First United Methodist Church we want to keep things simple. Do no harm, Do good, & Stay in love with God.

Is a Place….

Where the gentle hand of God

touches the wounded hearts of people.

Where guilt & shame do not live.

Where we are wanting to make room for others who might wish to worship here.

Where we are seeking to live in an ever-changing relationship with each other & our community.

“Go Tell It On The Mountain” that Jesus, the Christ lives here and in us in 2019.

And so, it begins

Don’t remember the prior things;
don’t ponder the ancient history.
Look! I am doing a new thing; now it sprouts up;
don’t you recognize it?

I’m making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness.

Isaiah 43: 18-19

And so, it begins, our second year together. I want you to know that I am excited to be your Pastor. I get a smile across my soul when I think of what God is doing in our midst. I have a couple of tasks for you as we take another step together: 1. Find a treasured place in your memory and put the thoughts of what Monroeville and First United Methodist used to be. 2. Find the rubbish bin in your mind and put the thoughts and things that were not to your liking in it.

Now, with a clear and hopeful mind, you have one mission in the next six months. Invite enough people to worship with us that at least one of them chooses that this is indeed the place that God wants them to be. This, and this alone, will bring new hope filled treasures to fill your mind; solve all financial worries and shortfalls; restore First UMC Monroeville to what you remember; and show us to be walking in the “will of God” as we are called to be witnesses of grace to our wonderful city.

Walking with you,

Bill

Welcome!

I am in my first year as the Sr. Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Monroeville, Alabama. I am glad that you have noticed our new website. I am hoping that you will find a snapshot of who we are at First United Methodist Church.

There is a lot of information about what we do and where you can be involved. However, sometimes that can be overwhelming. Please look over everything but pay particular attention to the pictures. They will give you an inside look at the personality of First U.M.C.

I look at the personality of this church and I see right where God wants me to be. I have enjoyed this first 7 months as the Pastor at First United Methodist Church. My wife, Stephanie and I can tell you that we still have not discovered all of the happenings here, but we are loving the personality that lives in this congregation. Each Sunday we sing with happiness, we laugh as we worship, and we learn something new about Faith, Ourselves, and Each Other. We find, over and over again, that God loves us and that we are valuable parts of the ministries of our church.

Please consider trying First United Methodist Church of Monroeville, Alabama on for size. There is always a place to fit into on this adventure that we call Faith in Jesus Christ.
