We are glad you have decided to worship in The Well this morning. It is our prayer that you have a deep and meaningful
worship experience today that leads you deeper in a worshipful life. We are grateful that God has sent you to Prattville First
United Methodist Church to be blessed and to bless others as we worship, grow, and serve together. If you need help getting
connected this morning, look for one of our hospitality team members who are wearing the blue lanyards.
They would be happy to help.
WHAT IS THE VISION OF OUR CHURCH?Our Vision is to be a church that multiplies disciples who live a life of worship, are growing to become like Christ, and serve the church, community, and world in transforming ways.
HOW CAN MY CHILDREN ENGAGE IN WORSHIP? Children are always welcome to be a part of worship in The Well. We have a wonderful nursery and Children’s Church ministry that you may wish to use if you choose. A nursery is available for children ages 3 and under. Children ages 4-7 years are invited to join our team of children’s worship leaders for Children’s Church in EPW 107 before the message.
ARE THERE STUDIES TO HELP ME GROW IN MY FAITH?Sunday school is a great way to connect in small groups and grow in your faith. Sunday school classes for children, youth, and adults meet at 9:45am each Sunday morning. Wednesday United is our other major GROW opportunity. On Wednesday nights during the fall and spring we meet at 5pm in Pratt Hall for dinner and then divide into groups for studies. Additionally, we have many small groups that meet throughout the week. Contact our Director of Adult Discipleship, Leslie, at [email protected] to learn about more opportunities.
HOW DO I JOIN?Anyone who wishes to learn more about our church is invited to come to Starting Point, a luncheon for visitors and those seeking membership. The next Starting Point date is January 24th.
HOW CAN I REACH THE PASTOR?If you would like to talk with one of our pastors, Dr. Rob Couch or Rev. Drew A. Willis, call the church office at 365-5977.
