Welcome

Thank you for being with us in worship this Sunday! Our mission at First Church is

to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We are

inspired by the words of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, who

encouraged believers to “do all the good you can, in all the ways you can.”

“I am the resurrection and the life; those that believe in me, even though they die, yet shall they live.”

A TIME FOR FAMILY! For many, family mealtime has been lost in our overscheduled lives. With so much on our

plates, families spend little time around the dinner table. However, family meals are

important and here are just a few reasons why. Family meals:

• provide an opportunity for family members to come together, strengthen ties and build better relationships

• improve communication

• allow time for everyone to decompress

• create memories and traditions

Families, let’s mark our calendars for a meal together on Sunday, June 20th, in the Wesley

Worship Center immediately following 11AM worship. This time may be just what we

need—to sit down with one another before our hectic summer schedules are in full swing.

We have spent so much time away from fellowship with each other. Sitting around the

table to catch up is just the way to kick off summer! Our menu will be fried chicken,

mac & cheese, green beans, and . . . dessert, of course. No need to RSVP, but if you have

questions, please contact Jennifer Hupko, hupko@fumcmb.org or 843-448-7164.

We are—First Church Myrtle Beach! Our new logo was

approved last week by Church Council and will be

included in all printed materials and marketing efforts

going forward. The image is representative of our local

DNA—one of being a guiding light to reach all those in our

beach community and particularly the next generation.

Thanks to Danny Brown, a local graphic designer, for

guiding the process.
