Responsive Call to Worship Faith Kirsten Ralph One: By faith, we trust that we were created in the image of God. Many: By faith, we hope and dream and make plans. One: By faith, we face our fears and insecurities. Many: By faith, we till the soil of our lives and plant seeds of love. One: By faith, we follow where God leads. Many: By faith, we trust that God is present in our midst. All: By faith, we gather in this place to worship God together.

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick* and the dead.

Not Your Average Joe Starring: Children's Ministries (Pre-K through 5th grade)
The classical Old Testament story of Joseph is retold in the exuberant times and music of the 50's. It's surfer beats, leather jackets, and surf boards, but the gospel truth remains the same...trust the Lord with all your heart.
That Joe--he's so dreamy! The year is 1959, and at the family drive-in, Papa Jake's Fries and Shakes, things are hoppin'! But favored son Joe always seems to have his nose in a Good Book. When the patriarch of the family, Papa Jake, gives Joe his prized leather jacket and turns his business over to him for the summer, things get gnarly. With some "help" from his jealous siblings, Joe finds himself unexpectedly aboard a woody wagon headed to faraway land of sand, strange customs, and a Pharoh...er, Great Kahuna...the beach! The ups and downs of the journey remind Joe God is with Him, and the hurricane force of a food crisis teaches Joe and his reunited family the power of forgiveness. Vacation Bible School Registration Vacation Bible School registration is on the website www.fumclex.org. Also, forms are located on the Volunteer’s Desk in the Reception Area. Please return completed forms to the church office.
