As members and regular attenders at First United Methodist Church in Prairie Grove we have committed ourselves to five ways we will support our church. These five practices are our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness. During Advent we will be discussing each of these during Sunday worship. Particularly we will be finding out how to multiply these five practices by 10. Imagine the impact we can have on our community if each of us is truly committed to serving our church through these five practices multiplied by 10 in 2020.

Our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ takes many forms at First United Methodist Church. We try to simplify by CONNECTING people to God and each other, EQUIPPING ourselves through scripture, conversation and study, along with SENDING ourselves in mission.

That statement is “WE FEED PEOPLE.” Over the last several years we, as a church, have committed to working with our neighbor churches, and the community to fight food insecurity. We provide free food in as many places to as many people as possible.

Prairie Grove is a wonderful community. It has an active group of helpful citizens, beautiful parks, and multiple churches to choose from. It’s no surprise that our little community is growing by leaps and bounds. Who wouldn’t want to live here?

And one of the best ways we know how to show love is by getting involved with our neighbors and helping out where we see a need.
If you are new to the area, new to your faith, or a local that is just looking to get more involved, I highly encourage you to start at PGFUMC. We have many opportunities available to become an active participant in helping serve the community and showing love.
