First Sunday potluck meals are back. The first will be Sunday, September 6th.

Our church is exploring a partnership with Safe Families for Children, a faith-inspired ministry that helps keep children safe and supports parents during difficult seasons. Safe Families is not foster care or adoption.  Instead, families voluntarily receive support through temporary hosting, meals, transportation, donations, encouragement, mentoring, and prayer.

Galatians 6:2 reminds us to “bear one another’s burdens,” and this ministry offers a practical way for churches to come alongside families in our own community.

Alpha begins Thursday, September 10, 2026, offering a relaxed place to explore life, faith, and the Christian faith through food, fellowship, a short presentation, and honest conversation.
Morning Alpha — 9:00 a.m. Church Sunday School Room; food and refreshments provided.
Evening Alpha — 6:30 p.m. Pastor’s House; food and refreshments provided.

Whether you are a longtime follower, still exploring, or simply curious, there is a place for you at Alpha. Sign up at the back table in the Multi-Purpose Sanctuary. We also need two host homes; if you can help welcome others for conversation and fellowship, please speak with Pastor Kerry Foote.

Come hungry for food, fellowship, and meaningful conversation—bring your questions! We look forward to starting together on September 10!

The choir is restarting rehearsals on Wednesday, September 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the multipurpose building. All are welcome to join the choir.

MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Tim Timmons, and Sam Wesley bring a night of faith-filled music featuring favorites like “I Can Only Imagine,” “Even If,” and “I Still Believe.” The concert is at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center on October 10, 2026 @ 7:00 p.m.

Chaires Methodist Church is gathering names of those interested so we can reserve tickets together. Please sign up at the back table of the multi-purpose building.

Amy Clark, a member of our church family at Chaires Methodist Church, was seriously injured after being knocked down by a pack of dogs at a dog park. She suffered significant leg injuries requiring surgery, along with a hospital and rehab stay. She now faces a long recovery before returning to work.  Her family has created a GoFundMe to help with medical and living expenses: https://ghttps://www.gofundme.com/f/standing-with-amy-clark-on-her-road-to-recovery

If you prefer not to use GoFundMe, Publix gift cards are another way to help with everyday needs.  Thank you for keeping Amy in your prayers during this time
