First United Methodist Church Fort Atkinson

Sunday we celebrate fathers—the men who often serve as our first examples of how to stand tall in a complicated world. In the Gospel, Jesus uses the image of the "Father" to remind us that we are never alone when we step into the public square. Just as a good father watches over his children, God’s eye is on the sparrow—and on us. A "Fearless Faith" isn't just a personal feeling; it's a legacy we pass down. When we proclaim our faith "from the rooftops" and live it out in our daily work and community, we honor the Heavenly Father who calls us to be brave, visible, and full of love.

Look forward to seeing you Sunday!

Jesus looks at the world and doesn't see a problem to be solved, but a harvest to be gathered. He feels it in his gut--a deep, visceral compassion. He sees the need, and then He tells the disciples to pray, and then He sends them. In Fort Atkinson and beyond the "harvest" is all around us—in the lonely, the grieving, and those searching for purpose. We are the laborers. To "Live and Love Like Jesus" means moving from feeling sorry for people to actually being sent to them. What part of the field is God calling you to tend this week?

On this birthday of the Church, we move from the "waiting" of the Upper Room to the "going" of the Great Commission. Pentecost is not just a historical event; it is a current reality. When the Holy Spirit arrived, it didn't make everyone speak the same language, but allowed everyone to understand one another. How is God calling us to bridge the gaps in Fort Atkinson? How does the "Advocate" empower us to stand for justice and speak words of life in a world that often prefers the silence of the status quo?

This Sunday- Jesus tells us not to let our hearts be troubled, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This passage calls us to consider how the Holy Spirit acts as our internal guide when the physical presence of Christ is no longer seen. How do we recognize the "Way" in the midst of a world filled with many directions? What does it mean for us to be "Living Stones" built into a spiritual house together?

Join us this Sunday: Reflecting on his family’s harrowing escape from the jungles of Laos and the crossing of the Mekong River, Pastor Tom shares how his life's journey has been the intentional work of the Spirit of the Good Shepherd. He explores how prevenient grace pulled him from a life of animistic fear and spiritual "envy" at the edge of the fence into the deep satisfaction of the Father's table.
