Experience the warmth of true community –
God’s love changes us, as we love like Jesus
And now, the best news of all: Next Sunday [the Lord willing] we will be back together in the same room! I can’t wait. We will pick up right where we left off in our series, on Daniel 1:8-15–DARE TO BE A DANIEL!. and turn our attention to something that will never be shaken in our lives: commitment to serve the Lord.. This message was ready to go last Sunday, so consider this your official heads up: come ready. I am excited to share a word that the Lord has laid on my heart, and I believe it’s a word we all can use in this oftentimes broken and shaken world we find ourselves in.
I can’t wait to worship with you, laugh with you, meet you at the Lord’s table, and open up God’s Word together again. So, my friends, take a deep breath, stay warm and safe and know that God loves you and so do I.
“O sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonderful things.”
Psalms 98:1
When I was in seminary, we lived in a little apartment that was close to the local high school.
While I studied, I could sometimes hear the marching band as it practiced. If the wind was blowing in one direction, I could hear the whole band. But if the wind was blowing in the opposite direction, all I could hear was the bass drum…boom, boom, boom…even though I knew all the instruments were playing.
A lot of people were brought up to hear only one word about the character of God: judgment, judgment. But when they began to learn more about God, they were able to hear the “melody of love” that is so beautiful – and they learned to praise God for His grace, His mercy, and His unending, sacrificial and unfathomable love for us.

Through our service to one another, we grow in community and strengthen the place where we call home.
We strive to be changed by God so that we love like Jesus.
In order to preserve the ministry values and integrity of Washington First Methodist Church’s mission, we put importance on the scripture in what we believe and how we acknowledge God’s Word in everything we do.
