FIRST UNITED METHODIST ANNOUNCEMENTS World Day of Prayer is March 2 Everybody wants to “do something” in light of the recent violent tragedies from across the nation. As Christians part of our “doing” is the power of prayer. The RWF Ministerial is hosting a World Day of Prayer candlelight vigil in the our parking lot on Friday, March 2nd from 3:45-4:00. Please come and join others from across our community as we lift up our prayers.
