Our incoming pastor, Roger Thompson, would like to meet with as many of our church members as possible during the first couple months after his arrival (June, July and August).
To accomplish this, Roger would like to gather in homes with groups of twenty of less for about an hour of conversation about our church and its ministry. While the exact date and time will be established after Roger arrives, we are currently seeking individuals willing to host these conversations in their home. If you would be willing, please let Tammy Jackson know by calling the church office or sending her an email: tammy@fumcgadsden.org
Crocodile Dock VBS 2009
The Children will sing songs from VBS on this Sunday, June 28 at both services!
Children should arrive at 8:45 AM and meet in the Gathering Room. They will sing in the 9 AM Celebration Service. Following Sunday School, there will be Crocodile Cookies and Swamp Juice in the Portico Lobby! Then at 10:45, they will sing in the traditional service (near the start of the service and then they will exit the service for Children's Church). We look forward to seeing you all there!

Natural Church Development is a process where we use our gifts
and graces to help our church grow. NCD is based on a sound
theological foundation and incorporates our God given talents
to address the weakest segment of our church while celebrating
the strengths. It is not a program or a church model that we strive
to adopt as our own. Rather, it is a process of discovery that uses
the dynamics of a healthy lifestyle and our undiscovered potential.
NCD usually takes one to two years to complete. At the end of the
process we should be a better, healthier church.
