As in years past, we will be cooperating with the Chariton Interchurch Council by participating in the 10 a.m. ecumenical worship on the square (Johnson Auditorium in the event of bad weather).
To do this, worship will be early at FUMC at 8:30 a.m. The format will be more informal than usual. We invite you to join us for this opportunity. (No Sunday School 7/4 because of worship times.)
The ecumenical worship will begin at 10 a.m. and we encourage you to be a part of the celebration. This year, the music will be provided by a pastor's band composed of Don Hayes (Assembly of God), the youth directors of the Baptist church on drums, the youth pastor from Cornerstone on bass, and the pastor of FUMC on guitar. Yes, it's true. I will be making my first public guitar appearance, and I pledge to you, I will make every effort NOT to embarrass this congregation. In any case, it will be entertaining, so join us and see how (I and) we do!
