Weekly Children's sermon
Hymn of preparation
Sunday, January 10, 2021
Where Charity and Love Prevail
This great hymn is loosely translated from the ancient text: Ubi Carita et Amore (Where Charity and Love Are, there Is God). It was written by Saint Paulinus II (726-804) of Aquileia in 792, with its original tune having been composed a century prior. The text is based off 1 John 4:21, simply stated, if you love God, you should love your neighbor. In order to fully love, we must be able to fully forgive others. It is in this forgiveness we are forgiven our sins by God. To be truly charitable, is to forgive and love as Christ loves and forgives us. Christ washed the disciple’s feet as an outward sign of His love, initiating the command: Love your neighbor as yourself. So as an outward sign of our love for Christ and our neighbors, we should always be willing to forgive others.

Staff gift program
A Note from Faith's Staff Parish Relations Committee:
Faith United Methodist Church is blessed to have pastors and staff who continue to faithfully share the hope of Christ in our community.
During this particularly difficult year of chaos and change, our staff has worked diligently to keep the church operating whether the actual building was open or closed. Their dedication to bringing creative expressions of worship, continued discipleship, and a multitude of ways for our community to engage the Gospel has been a beacon of hope in a time of great uncertainty.
Will you prayerfully consider a special donation this season to allow us, as
a church, to present a modest Christmas gift to our staff as a supplement to payroll in appreciation for their work?
Christmas Worship & Reservations
This year, Faith will have more opportunities to worship at Christmas with services on both December 23rd and 24th, but, all of our services will have the same elements so that you won't miss out on anything! There will be a Children's moment in every service with a story, video, children's gift and candle lighting. Nursery will be available with reservations for children 2 and under. Make reservations below for the service you'd like to attend and nursery care.

Prayer Requests
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." - Philippians 4:6
Our mission
At Faith United Methodist Church, our desire is to partner with parents in the most important aspect of their children’s lives—that is, their growth and purpose in relationship with Jesus Christ. Through worship, Sunday school, and Bible study, we create fun and meaningful avenues for your children to learn that God created them, God loves them, Jesus wants to be their friend, and God can be trusted to help them make wise choices and treat others with respect. We strive to collaborate with parents during each phase of their children’s lives in sending these important messages home.
