Fitzpatrick Church

Fitzpatrick Church Fitzpatrick Road, Co Rd 7, Fitzpatrick AL, 36029;
Sunday School 8:30 am; Worship 9:30 am Fitzpatrick United Methodist Church was erected in 1858. Robert F. Ligon.

Lacking an established church nearby, pioneer families of the Fitzpatrick community into the mid-19th century took turns hosting worship services in their homes on Sunday mornings. “The Church of the Seven Sisters” was established in 1858 by seven women of the community – Mrs. Phillips Bernard Baldwin (Martha Ann Thompson), Mrs. David Graves Fitzpatrick (Sara Ann Hooks), Mrs. John Campbell (Cather

ine Celia Hooks) Mrs. William Cicero Hufham (Nancy Henry Gholston), Mrs. Gordon Sanford Bunkley (Lucinda Morris Keene), Mrs. John William Templeton Reid (Celia Julia Fitzpatrick) and Mrs. Three of the “sisters” were Methodist, two were Baptist, one was Presbyterian, and one an Episcopalian, so it was founded as a Methodist Church. Albert G. Wray deeded one-and-one-half acres for the original building for one dollar. After the Montgomery and Eufaula railroad was built through Fitzpatrick in the 1870s, the church building was moved to its present location. Fitzpatrick UMC was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1978, as well as the National Register of Historic Places.

The Seven Last Words of Jesus on the Cross, as compiled from the four Gospels, represent his final, significant declarations while dying. They reveal his character, divine mission, and humanity through themes of forgiveness, care for others, suffering, and trust in God:"
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34)
“Today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43)
“Woman, behold your son: behold your mother" (John 19:26-27)
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34)
“I thirst" (John 19:28)
“It is finished" (John 19:30)
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46)

“While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
Matthew 26:26-29 NIV

“Spy Wednesday" a moment for reflection on betrayal and repentance.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus

“Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.”
Matthew 26:14-16 (NIV)

HOLY TUESDAY
Love God and Love Your Neighbor

“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

HOLY MONDAY
Jesus at the Temple

“Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Matthew 21:12-13 NIV
