Sharing the lord's table
"Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another."
In the "Invitation" to Holy Communion of the United Methodist Church, we explain how we offer an "open table," one which does not discriminate based upon church membership, denominational affiliation, or another other factors. Anyone -- anywhere -- may participate in this sacrament. And, on this day, we do it throughout the entire global UMC Connection.
On Sunday, October 2nd, we will celebrate WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY with a single worship service at 10 AM, in the sanctuary, where we will join believers across the world in recalling the living sacrifice which is sanctified by the Lord's Supper.
Please join us for Sunday School at 9 AM, then participate in World Communion with our entire congregation, then we'll enjoy a fellowship luncheon (youth fundraiser meal) immediately following the service.

Methodism is our own unique "brand" of Christianity. We follow a "Method" of working toward "Christian perfection," which is steeped in ritual and historic church liturgy dating back to the days of John and Charles Wesley. Each Wednesday, FUMC will explore our United Methodist history, and polity, in light of living in a region that is overwhelmingly more evangelical. Join us for our WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY NIGHTS at 6 PM, in the Chapel, as we help to answer the question, "What Does it Mean to be a United Methodist in the Bible Belt?" This study is designed to help us understand our denomination in the light of the dominant forces of more fundamentalist denominations around us. We'll be using the titular book by Rev. F. Belton Joyner, a noted Methodist scholar and theologian, to explore the basic ideas behind John Wesley's theology in the context of our region.
Are you a knitter or do you crochet? If not, would you like to learn? The PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY at First United Methodist Church-Brookhaven, MS is looking for additional volunteers who may help them knit or crochet prayer shawls or baby blankets! This group meets each Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, in the church's Ministry Center at 212 South Jackson Street, to create together, and then pray for those who will receive their handmade shawls or blankets. This unique ministry of the church shares not only prayers, but also tangible items which offer comfort in times of need, such as illness or bereavement, or joyous occasions, such as a when a new baby is baptized. They will provide all the materials, including needles or crochet hooks, as well as yarns, and teach you how to knit or crochet if you don't know how. If you've ever wanted to learn how, this is a perfect opportunity. In return, you are able to share God's love through a hand-crafted item. For more information, contact the church office at 601-833-3519, or Shirley Bruce or Virginia Sparks.
