We welcome you and invite you to worship with us. We have two worship services each Sunday at 8:15AM and 10:30AM. Both services are a blend of contemporary and traditional music. We offer adult and youth Christian education classes on Sunday morning from 9:30-10:15AM. Our 10:30AM worship is livestreamed every Sunday on our Facebook page found here: https://www.facebook.com/abilenefirstumc/

We also provide meaningful activities on Wednesday afternoon and evenings for youth including Power and Light from 3:30PM-5:00PM and Youth Group from 6:00PM-7:30PM. We are a church that serves the community through important ministries such as the Little Food Pantry, Care Portal (Network of Abilene churches that help provide critical needs for families with young children) and providing and serving the community meal once a month.

Fr. Shawn Sherraden and the congregation of St. John’s Episcopal Church extend a warm invitation to our sisters and brothers at First United Methodist Church to a special evensong service on Friday, July 3, at 5:30 pm in the FUMC sanctuary. Evensong is a historic, meditative service of sung evening prayer. This service will feature music chosen for America’s 250th birthday and will feature guest organist Kael Nelson, a member of our congregation and a KU student who has just returned from an international choir competition in Slovakia, where the KU Chamber Choir took top honors.

A potluck dinner will follow the service (approximately 6:30 pm) in the downstairs fellowship hall, and all are invited to join us for dinner.  No need to bring food, there’s always plenty! 

We are able to return to our own sanctuary for services this Sunday morning, July 5. We are so grateful to FUMC for welcoming us and graciously allowing us the use of the chapel for the past three weeks. Thank you from all of us at St. John’s! 

Last weekend Liam, grandson of Joan H., raised $236 for The Little Free Pantry during a garage sale here in Abilene. We love that Liam has such a big heart for giving and that he is part of our church family! This is a great example of if everyone does a little, a lot gets done.
