What does community look like to you?

Maybe it’s sharing a meal. Checking in on a neighbor. Showing up when someone needs an extra hand. Worshiping together. Making room at the table for someone new...or picking up a shovel and digging together!

Community can grow in big moments and small ones, whenever we choose to show up for one another with love.

So, what does community look like to you? Tell us below!

This week, let's take a moment to think about our community - the people we pass, the places we go and the needs we may encounter along the way.

Where might God be inviting us to show up with love or a helping hand? How can the gifts we’ve been given become part of His work right here in Wi******er and Frederick County?

Today, let's pray for open eyes, open hearts, and the courage to follow where God leads.

The places may change mission continues.

There was a time when this building on Braddock Street was the place First Church called home. Generations gathered here to worship and grow together, our history helped shape the church we know today.

Now, following our groundbreaking at Apple Pie Ridge, it's our turn to carry that story forward together.

One table. Many places. One family in Christ.

This Sunday, October 4, First Church joins Christians around the world in celebrating World Communion Sunday, remembering that no matter our background, language or culture, we are one in Christ.

As one of The United Methodist Church’s Special Sundays, it’s also an opportunity to help equip the next generation of church leaders through scholarships, training and leadership development around the world.

Join us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. - there is a place for you at the table!

October is Pastor Appreciation Month!

This month, we give thanks for Pastor Sean and the many ways he walks alongside our First Church family by celebrating our joys, sharing in our sorrows, encouraging us in faith and helping us grow closer to Christ.

Throughout October, we invite you to help us show Pastor Sean some extra love! Write a note of encouragement and leave it in the gift mailbox in the sanctuary, share a thoughtful gift, lend a helping hand, or simply let him know you’re praying for him and his family.

Pastor Sean, thank you for your faithful leadership, compassionate care and commitment to sharing God’s love. We are grateful for you — this month and all year long!

Autumn reminds us that change is part of every season.

Some transitions are exciting. Others are unexpected, bittersweet or difficult. And sometimes, we don’t quite know what a new season will bring.

This week, let's pray about the transitions in your own life. Looking to God for peace in what you’re leaving behind, wisdom for what lies ahead and trust for the space in between.

First United Methodist Church hopes to move into its new facility on Easter morning in 2028 at 362 Apple Pie Ridge Road in Frederick County. Pastor Sean Devolites visited the rural property last week and explained why he and his congregation took so long to announce the construction of the new church that will include a sanctuary, a kitchen, classrooms and office space. ⬇

Today, we’re giving thanks for the ordinary blessings that can be so easy to miss.

A conversation with a friend. A meal shared around a table. A cool morning. An unexpected laugh. A helping hand. A moment of quiet in a busy day.

God is present not only in life’s big moments, but in the small ones, too.

What small blessing are you grateful for this week?

If you or someone you know could use some extra prayer and support, please reach out to the church office at [email protected] to be added to our Prayer Requests list.
