it pours. . . When the sun shines bright, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine . . .

There are so many events happening at the First United Methodist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah. Please visit the church website for details for November 2008 events… The bishop is coming, the bishop is coming!! Pamela Atkinson – philanthropist and homeless advocate . . . a very cool 70’s looking guy that plays the piano, John Nilsen, medical missionaries from Zimbabwe, and Salt Lake Organists celebrating Charles Wesley – hey he wrote over 6000 hymns. . . he needs to be honored for 300 years of keeping us singing! Come one, come all and have a good time!

The First United Methodist Church is located at 203 South 200 East, Salt Lake City, Utah. It is one of the coolest places on earth with some of the best people you’d ever want to meet.

Well, it was another exciting morning. Each year the Sunday School kids would rather stay out at the Pride Parade that goes right by the First United Methodist Church than go in for the lesson. We all especially love cheering on the Salt Lake City Men’s Choir! Mayor Becker was in the lead with his pink scarf. He wore it well!

Before the parade started, I passed out a flyer with the church hours and web site on it to folks lining the street in front of the church on the corner of 200 South and 200 East. Many welcomed the information and a couple asked if our church is “gay friendly.” I said “yes”, of course.

I was thinking that a better answer for our church is that we are “people” friendly. I hope some of the folks I talked to attend! Service at 203 South 200 East in SLC, every Sunday at 11 am.

If you are looking for a place to “become, belong, believe” please join us at the First United Methodist Church on 203 South 200 East. We worship every Sunday at 10:30 am for the past 103 years! Rev. Brian Hare-Diggs is the pastor of the church and gives thoughtful sermons each week. The children’s ministry is alive and well and starts bible school at 9 am. The congregation is diverse and welcoming to every person walking through the door. The Eucharist is offered each Sunday.

If you have been away from religion or are not familiar with Christianity, I encourage you to attend. People called Methodists practice “open doors, open hearts, and open minds.” I hope you consider joining us as a visitor or as a long time friend, brother, or sister in Christ.
