Get excited, FUMC! Our very own Tom Johnson will be preaching the Word on Sunday, July 21! Come to Worship, and you will be blessed!

Addie Jarrett brought an amazing Word this morning from the parable of the Good Samaritan! True compassion is courageous, compelling, and looks like the cross. May we practice that true, radical compassion in all our living and loving.

The fantastic Addie Jarrett will be preaching at FUMC this Sunday. Addie is the director of Neighborhood Life House in Joplin. Come hear about her ministry and listen to her proclaim God's Word! Also, Battle of the Hymns will be narrowing down to the top 8, and it is Fellowship Dinner Sunday. You will be blessed! Sunday School starts at 10:00 am. Worship is at 11:00 am.

Better late than never! Our last Connect Kids of the summer was a fun day! We read about Jesus feeding a crowd with five loaves of bread and two fish, and then we made homemade chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, and bread. We also had our annual water day. Over the course of the summer, 37 kids and 18 adults took part in our largest summer yet! We can't wait until next June! Thank you to everyone who helped, who sent their kiddos, and who prayed for this ministry!

This is a few days late, but we had 21 kiddos last Thursday at Connect Kids Photography Day. We are so thankful for Shelley Graves showing the kids how to capture memories and see the beauty in God's world! This Thursday is the final session, and it's Bread Baking and Water Fun Day!

Which hymn will win? Will it be one with a rockin' beat? One with words that make your heart sing? An old favorite? You can help decide! This Sunday, we'll be picking our 64 favorites to go head to head in a musical battle for greatness. Each week, you will get to vote to narrow them down until we crown the 2019 winner. If you aren't going to make it to church this Sunday, post your favorites in the comments so they will make it onto the bracket! 🎼🎵🎶🎹📖🎤🏆🥇 #FairlandFUMC #BattleOfTheHymns #BotH #SummerFunAtFUMC

Hey, everyone! Pastor Shannon needs your help this week! The theme of Connect Kids this Thursday is "Seeing Beauty in God's World." Shelley Graves will be showing the kiddos how she captures beauty through her amazing photography. How can you help? Think of one of your pictures that you'd consider to be the most beautiful photo you've ever taken and either text it, private message it, or email it to Pastor Shannon. You can also post it in the comments or drop by the church office with it this week! You never know... your picture may be featured in Worship next Sunday! 📸

Wowza! We had 23 kids and 16 adults take part in Connect Kids Sewing Day! We made "thready" spaghetti and "pin cushion" cupcakes and then worked hard on our stuffies! Everyone got to take an extra stuffy kit to make one to give to someone else as an act of compassion and caring!

Connect Kids was AMAZING today! We had 16 kids and 13 adults making mosaic everything (pizza, cookies, and artwork) and learning that they are God's masterpiece! Next Thursday is Sewing Week!

Connect Kids starts tomorrow with Mosaic Day!

Flashback to last Friday's Mother-Daughter/ Women and Girls' Salad, Sandwich, and Sweets Supper! Thank you to everyone who attended this fun evening and to Dawn Dawn Hill for leading our painting activity!

Get excited, Fairland and surrounding area! Connect Kids: Connecting Faith and Life Skills Summer Program is gearing up for the third year at Fairland First United Methodist Church! This program is 100% FREE for kids in PreK through 5th grade! It takes place on Thursdays in June from 10:30 am until 1:30 pm at FUMC (122 W. Church Street in Fairland, OK). What happens at Connect Kids? When your child or children arrive, they will begin preparing their lunch for the day (food and supervision provided), and then they eat lunch together. After lunch clean up, they join Pastor Shannon for a short Bible study which leads into a hands on activity that ties the Bible lesson to real life situations. Here is the activity schedule for this summer: June 6: Mosaic Day (mosaic pizzas, mosaic cookies, and veggies) June 13: Sewing Day (spaghetti, garlic toast, and "pin cushion" cupcakes) June 20: Photography Day (outdoor cookout for lunch) June 27: Bread Baking Day and Water Fun Day (homemade chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, and dessert) Note: this day may run a bit longer since we are having water fun time after baking bread. We would love to see your child or children attend! It is a time full of fun and learning in a safe environment.
