When In Our Music God Is Glorified - October 11th, 2017

This is our big week! We have been waiting a long time for this coming Sunday... 175 years to be exact. As I have thought about what this past year has been like, I can only imagine the rich history that has taken place in this sacred space. I can only imagine the songs that have been sung, the prayers that have been prayed, the sermons that have been preached. There, no doubt, have been happy occasions such as baptisms, confirmations, weddings, as well as sad occasions. There is one common theme throughout each of these happenings: we are family. This group of people that have been worshipping for 175 years, this group of people called “Methodists” are a family. We are united by our love for Christ, our love for each other, and our love for community. Together we are stronger.

Youth Corner - October 11th, 2017

We are celebrating this week an incredible anniversary in the life of our church. For 175 years this church that we call home has been a fixture in our community. For 175 years the members of FUMC Dyersburg have served, ministered, and witnessed to the community that God placed around it. My family and I have counted it a blessing to have served beside you these last few months.

Pastoral Thoughts - October 11th, 2017

Dear Friends and First UMC Family: Over these past few months, our schedules have been busy and our plates have been full of activities leading up to a big celebration this coming Sunday. So we’d like to give a reminder, a Thank You and a word of encouragement. First, please remember that this coming Sunday is when we celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the ministries of First United Methodist in Dyersburg and Dyer County. We hope you’ll join us for worship at 10:00 a.m. as we welcome Bishop McAlilly, as both our Episcopal leader and preacher for the day. Immediately after worship, we’ll enjoy an old-fashioned Methodist potluck lunch.
