⚾🩸 **It’s time to step up to the plate!**

Our American Red Cross Blood Drive is coming up at Lexington First United Methodist Church, and we need donors to help fill our appointment slots!

Giving blood is a simple way to make a real difference. Just one donation can help save more than one life—and your decision to give could provide blood for someone facing surgery, an accident, cancer treatment, or another serious medical need.

📅 Friday, September 4
⏰ 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
📍 Lexington First UMC – Fellowship Hall
514 S. Pine St., Lexington

⚾ **Will you step up to the plate and give?**

Appointments are available now. Grab your spot today and invite a friend to join you!

Tomorrow is Mission Trip Sunday! 🙌

Last month, our youth stepped out to serve, love their neighbors, and experience what God is doing beyond the walls of our church. Tomorrow morning, we’ll get to hear their stories—what they experienced, where they saw God at work, and how the trip impacted them.

We’d love for you to join us as we celebrate what God has done through our young people and are reminded that all of us are invited to be part of God’s mission wherever we are. ❤️

🕘 Tomorrow at 9:00 AM
📍 Lexington First UMC

Come hear their stories. Come encourage our youth. And come discover how God might be inviting each of us to join what He’s doing in the world.

We’ll see you tomorrow!

✨ Something new is starting this Wednesday!

Life is better when you have people to walk through it with—and we want to create a place where young adults can find real community, have honest conversations, grow in faith, and simply do life together.

Our new Young Adult Small Group kicks off this Wednesday night, and we'd love for you to be part of it!

📅 Wednesday, August 12
⏰ 7:00 PM
📍 Lexington First UMC — Youth Room

Whether you've been around church your whole life, you're figuring out what you believe, or you're simply looking for some good people to connect with, you belong here.

And if you love a young adult—a son or daughter, grandchild, friend, coworker, neighbor—help us spread the word! Share this post with them or, even better, send them a personal invitation. ❤️

Come as you are. Bring a friend. We'll see you Wednesday!

Real community. Honest conversations. Growing together.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, "God's Story, Our Story," with a message from Genesis 3 titled "What Went Wrong."

We all know the world isn't the way it's supposed to be. Relationships break. Hearts wander. Hope can feel fragile. This week we'll explore how the Bible explains what went wrong—and why God never gave up on His creation.

We're also excited to welcome Daniel Samuel as our guest speaker!

Daniel and his wife, Sheeba, moved to the United States from India in 2000. Through Jonah Ministry, which he founded in 2019, Daniel works to equip believers to make disciples and plant churches. His ministry currently supports 14 churches in rural villages and towns across India. In addition to his ministry work, Daniel serves as a Project Manager in Information Technology and is currently pursuing a Certificate in Theology through Renew University.

We hope you'll join us this Sunday as we worship together, hear God's Word, and continue discovering how God's story brings hope to our own.

What if the question you've been asking your whole life is too small? Instead of 'how do I get to heaven someday,' start asking 'how is God's kingdom breaking into my life TODAY.' That changes everything.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself:

"What story am I living?"

Every one of us is living a story. Our hopes, fears, dreams, struggles, and decisions are all shaped by the story we believe we're living in.

But what if there's a bigger Story?

This Sunday, we begin a brand-new series called God's Story, Our Story with a message titled "The Story We're Living In." Together, we'll discover that God's story isn't just about getting us to heaven someday—it's about His work of making all things new through King Jesus and inviting us to find our place in that Story.

No matter where you are on your faith journey, we'd love to have you join us.

📍 Sunday | 9:00 AM
📍 Lexington First United Methodist Church

Come discover the Story that changes everything.

Every one of us is living a story.

We all have dreams, disappointments, questions, victories, and struggles that shape how we see the world. But what if our story is actually part of a much bigger one?

Over the next several weeks, we’ll journey through God’s Story, Our Story, exploring the grand story of Scripture—from creation to new creation—and discovering what it means to find our place in God’s unfolding work through Jesus.

Our hope is simple: that you’ll begin to see your life not as an isolated chapter, but as part of the greatest story ever told.

Because our stories only make sense when they’re found in His.

You already know the people God has placed in your life. The first step to reaching them is simpler than you think. Start by praying for them by name.
