"To be Christ-centered through faithful

Worship, Outreach & Service"

From the Pastor's Desk (February 2, 2012):

Rev. William (Bill) Tate     

     I would like to give an update to the church on the progress of the Good Samaritan Health & Wellness Center.  We will be opening soon for reduced fee medical, dental, and health initiatives to the working uninsured.  It will encompass various faith communities along with business and civic organizations.  It will be headed by Dr. Bill Smith.

     Work will start soon on setting up dental operations and office space on the first floor of the Wade House along with medical screenings.  Whenever there is an opportunity to give scholarships to use the Willingham Center the Center will do so.  The Center will be renting the space and paying the utilities, the upkeep of the Wade House excluding janitorial duties will continue to be the responsibility of the church.

     We have received $19,000 from the Dyersburg District, $10,000 from an anonymous donor and a promise to match $40,000 from the same donor.  We have received $25,000 from another foundation so we have at least $79,000 to begin this wonderful ministry for our community.  Other churches are participating and that list is growing.  If you would like to contribute financially or volunteer your time, please contact Karen Hussey who is the secretary of the Good Samaritan Health & Wellness Center.  Her number is 731-587-6102.  Please keep this center and its future ministries in your prayers. 

Bro. Bill Tate

Come and worship with us on Sunday.....

Good Samaritan Health & Wellness Center.  The Outreach & Mission Team is currently supporting the development of the Good Samaritan Health & Wellness Center to serve our local community.  The Center's initial Board of Directors has developed a working plan for this coming year.  The proposed plan is dependent upon acquiring funding, and the Board of Directors is in work securing grants for funding in 2012 and future years. 

UMC Council of Bishops "Call to Action" Due to the decline in the United Methodist Church in North America, the Council of Bishops have declared a "Call to Action" to all United Methodist congregations. This 10 year plan, beginning 2012, will renew and change our denomination across the country by transforming dying congregations into vital ones.  The overall mission of the United Methodist Church is to "make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."  Additionally information and resources can be found at www.memphis-umc.net (click "Call to Action") and also www.umvitalcongregations.org. 

Fulton First UMC Storm Shelter.  The church basement will be opened when we receive a WARNING that a storm is imminent.   This occurs when the Fulton County Emergency Management place one of their telephone calls to everyone in the county.  This is for anyone needing shelter, our congregation and community.  The basement will not be opened if WATCH is issued.

Wealthy Walking. Fulton First UMC is offering a way to get Healthy.  On Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 a. m. in the Fellowship Hall we have the 2 mile walk for those who feel they are a little advanced and ready to move.  It takes about 30 minutes to go through the routine, which means you have walked 2 miles when you finish. If you are a beginner we have the 9:00 a.m. class that is 1 mile.  This routine takes about 20 minutes.

Come and join us!  There are many benefits to this program.  It is casual dress, a time to meet and greet friends, those participating express having more energy, and some have already seen the added dexterity in their everyday life.  So, come join us……we have fun while getting healthy.
