Adult and Family Ministries

Family Camp: For more than 30 years, First UMC families and friends have gathered at Fall Creek Falls State Park on Memorial Day Weekend (Friday night through Sunday afternoon) for play, socializing, fun, and worship. Registration for the limited spaces occurs in early May.

Financial Peace University: The Dave Ramsey 13-session series is offered periodically as needed to help individuals and couples gain control of their finances and understand themselves as stewards of God's blessings.

Marriage Enrichment: Offered as requested. Plans are currently being made for session(s) and a 24 hour retreat in the spring of 2007.

Shalom: is a ministry for and with the widowed men and women, and those who live alone. Shalom Team members maintain contact, offering support to those grieving, information, resources for transportation and household needs, and the support of the congregation.

"Souper": Suppers Are beginning in October, matching interested individuals and couples into groups of 6-8 for small group meals and conversation through the winter months.

Body and Soul Women’s Exercise: The Body and Soul exercise class meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 8:00-9:15 in the gym of the First UMC and is open to everyone in the community. Many of our regulars are members of other churches. We do weights, light cardo, and floor exercises. We start off by gathering around in a circle and having a devotional, and then we ask for prayer requests and many times share praises for answered prayer. It is a fun time for all that attend. We have all made new friends and have a great time with lots of laughter as well as exercise. So come and join our group. For more information, call the church office or Linda Counts. One of our members wrote this poem and it sums us up well.

Ode to the Ladies of Body and Soul We come in the mornings with everything dragging And work really hard to prevent further sagging. Though we’re no longer girls, we do lots of giggling And push our poor bodies to keep our parts wiggling. We attend lots of churches---our beliefs are diverse, But we support one another for better or worse.

So here’s to the ladies of Body and Soul. We may not be gorgeous, but we’ve accomplished our goal. We’ve not found our abs not lost our rear ends, But its very apparent We’ve become really good friends !
