SERMONS
April 26
Pastor Amy’s weekly sermons are published in this section of our First United Methodist Church website. Guest preachers will also be included if we have their sermons.
Click on the date of the sermon you would like to study. It will appear in a Word file and you can read, copy and print it as you choose. When you are finished, simply close the Word file by clicking on the small x in the upper, right hand corner, then click on the x to close the “new page” tab at the top left of the page and you will be returned to the website. Some sermons contain a link to other websites. Since these links are in a Word file, you must control/click on the link to view it.
(Note: Sermons for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are now in the archives.)
