For the month of August, we will be worshiping with our sister congregation, Euclid United Methodist Church.  We will be taking turns with worship preparation and sharing the worship services as we focus on some of the ways that we are at work for Jesus in the community. 

On August 2 Euclid will prepare worship, as we will be returning from our vacation.  As our bishop once said, "It isn't vacation if you are preparing worship or writing a sermon that week!"  That week is Euclid's traditional  "Family Service," and we are delighted to be included as a part of the family!

On August 9, First will be preparing the worship service, and we will be visiting Beyond Hunger to catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the ministry that is primarily responsible for feeding our neighbors in need.

On August 16, Euclid will be preparing the worship service, focusing on another of our community ministries.  

On August 23, we hope to focus on A House in Austin as First UMC again prepares the service.

Euclid will prepare the service on August 30.  This collaborative worship month will allow Pastor Marti and I to have some time to plan ahead for fall.  We are both looking forward to that!
