finished keepsake. Send check payable to First
United Methodist Church to 2723 N 50th St.,

promptly mailed to you. You may also stop

for singing, worship, scripture and fellowship.
We sing contemporary praise and worship songs
and choruses. Anyone of any ability or
instrument is welcome!
Several of our singers don't read music,
but say they catch on to the songs very quickly
and love getting a chance to spend time in
worship of our Amazing God. For more

Music Ministry,

Worship
is at the heart of who we are at
First Church. Our worship services and music are traditional with a warm, welcoming feel. Services
include lay persons reading scripture and helping with
Communion. We also have a brief Children's Time during
our 10:45 worship. Our music ministry features
instrumentalists from the community, soloists, First
Church choirs, guest choirs and piano/organ
duets.
Our 8:30 a.m. service is held in West
Vestry and
is a more casual service, whereas the 10:45 a.m. service
is held
in the Sanctuary and is more traditional. Sunday School
is at
9:30 a.m., with classes for both children and adults, or
you may visit with friends and guests at our Coffee Hour
at 9:30 a.m. in West Vestry.
What if church weren’t just
about Sunday,
but also about the other days of the week?
An active verb, instead of a noun.
What if church wasn’t just a building but thousands of doors.
Each of them opening to a different concept or experience of church.
So that whoever knocks might find a journey to call their own.

A Prayer for the People of Haiti
Loving God of creation, at this time of
devastation we hold before you the people of
Haiti. When the damage is unimaginable, and the
suffering seems overwhelming, remind us that
every person affected is loved, honoured and
precious in your sight. We remember all
those who have been hurt; all who have lost
their homes, livelihoods and loved ones. Work
through us to bring healing to broken and
distorted lives, peace to those who have been
thrown into despair, light to those in darkness,
and hope to those who fear. We ask this in the
name of Jesus in whom all life and grace is
found. Amen |

featuring
Joel
Sartore
Professional Photographer with the National
Geographic Society
A life-long
Nebraskan, Joel Sartore brings a sense of humor
and a mid-western work ethic to all of his
National Geographic assignments. And there are
times when he needs both of these qualities.
Of his 20 years of professional experience in
photography, 15 have been with National
Geographic. While on assignment, he has covered
everything from the remote Amazon rain forest to
beer-drinking, mountain-racing firefighters in
the United Kingdom, to the fate of the Alaskan
grizzly bear.
Joel is committed to conservation and has
focused on endangered species and land use
issues. He is co-founder of the Grassland
Foundation, and a founding member of the
International League of Conservation
Photographers. He is the author of several books
and his latest, RARE: Portraits of America’s
Endangered Species will be published in March
2010. Learn more and see more of Joel
Sartore and his work at
www.joelsartore.com. Also see
www.fmclincoln.org/peacemakingworkshop/2010
Workshop is free and open to the public with
Session 1 held on the Nebraska Wesleyan
University campus at 2 PM; Session 2 held at
First United Methodist Church at 7 PM, and
Session 3 held at East Lincoln Christian Church
on Saturday, March 27 at 8:30 a.m. There is also
a Photography Contest with Joel Sartore
selecting the winners, plus exhibits, book
signing and sales at the Friday evening session.
