The Journey

Do you know how Christ planned to reach the world?  It is through the church!  Jesus tells Peter in Matthew 16 that he will build his church upon Peter and the gates of hell will not overcome it.  In Matthew 28, Jesus commands us to go and make disciples and to teach them to obey everything he commanded.  Since Jesus commanded this, it is extremely important that we understand the pledges we make when we join the church.

When we join the United Methodist Church, we pledge to support our church with our gifts, our prayers, our presence, our service and our witness.  So what exactly does that mean?  Come on “The Journey” this fall and explore these pledges in a variety of ways.  Our lives will become full of purpose and joy as we live the lives Christ intends for us.

Esther
by Beth Moore. 6:30 – 8:30 PM (11 sesssions)

Join Beth in an in-depth and very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance. She peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to our lives. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. This portion of God's Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives. The Member Book offers nine weeks of personal interactive study five days a week plus viewer guides for the group video sessions.

Major Events


Beth Moore: So Long, Insecurity
America’s most renowned and esteemed Bible teacher, Beth Moore, will help women throughout North America conquer fear and doubt and discover the secret to liberating confidence and security in a nationwide simulcast event.  

In this powerful one-day simulcast based on her newest book, So Long Insecurity: you’ve been a bad friend to us, Beth reveals a transparent, almost autobiographical look, at the common sources of  female insecurity: the unattainable perfection of media images; dependence on a man’s love as ultimate validation; and success that is defined by money, power and status.  In her straight-talking yet loving style, Beth will strike a chord with women of all ages, showing them how to face their fears, rediscover their God-given dignity, and develop a new and stronger sense of self. 

First UMC is able to provide this program as a free event to the Huron area community because of the generosity of The South Dakota Coalition for Daily Ministries (SDCDM).   There will be a free-will offering collected for the muffins & juice and the lunch that will be provided.  

Also, that same weekend at our church, there will be a traveling South Dakota Iraq Memorial being displayed in our sanctuary.  There should be plenty of time to browse the display of banners over the lunch break from 11:30am – 1:00pm.

Join Beth Moore for a day that will transform and liberate you!

Time: 8:30am - 2:30pm
Cost: Free
(free will offering taken for morning muffins, lunch & program)

Please Pre-register for this event by Monday, April 19th by calling FUMC office at 352-8604.
To register online, click here.
(This will help us to prepare the proper amount of food and set up a comfortable space to enjoy the conference)
