First Fixers Ministry “First Fixers” is a brand new ministry coming our way.  First Fixers (the “Fixers”) will assist those (the “Fixees”) that may not have the physical ability, knowledge or resources to move an appliance, repair a faucet leak, resolve an insurance issue; or whatever. We match the need with a volunteer to repair/resolve the issue. Details of this exciting new ministry will be forthcoming or you can contact Rev. Susie Thomas at 383-4777, or susie@firstmethodist.org, or George Heard at gheard4@cox.net.
Golf Cart Ministry The ministry of hospitality is growing at First Church. Golf carts are patrolling the parking lots on Sunday morning to transport you to the doors of the church. It’s fun and a great way to meet other church members. Jump on a cart after parking your car and enjoy the ride! The golf carts are now available to everyone who wants a ride.
