A note from Pastor Travis 12/18/25

Can you believe that it is almost Christmas? Advent has been speeding by us. However, it has been a great Advent here at First UMC, Melrose! Our Christmas Eve plans are filled with excitement, too!

I have heard the choir practicing for the Christmas concert, and they sound wonderful! Our Christmas worship service is always deeply meaningful. So, join us on Christmas Eve, and bring a friend or five!

 December 24 – Christmas Eve Choir – Our Christmas Eve celebration will begin with music! We are inviting you to join the Christmas Eve Choir, which will sing prior to the Christmas Eve Service from 5:30-6 p.m. and participate in the Christmas Eve Service at 6:00. If you would like to participate, please let Rachel know.   Everyone is invited to join in the fun!

December 24, Christmas Eve Candlelight Service – Join us on Christmas Eve at 5:30 for our annual Christmas Concert, followed by our Christmas Lessons and Carols Candlelight Service at 6:00. 

See you Sunday!

Church Office Hours December

Our church administrator, Margo, will be out of the office recovering from surgery for about the next 4-6 weeks. 

During this time, we are incredibly grateful for the remarkable spirit of fellowship that embodies First United Methodist Church, as many of our dedicated members have graciously volunteered to step in and support the office in Margo’s absence. 

To ensure everyone can stay connected and engaged, we kindly ask that you call the office before visiting, as our office hours will vary during this transitional period.

What a generous church we have! After three weeks of receiving pledges, we are off to a great start. Thank you to everyone who has pledged. If you have not yet submitted your pledge, it isn’t too late. You can pick up a pledge card on Sunday, or contact the church office, and we will mail you one.
