Hi. The WNCC highlighted the park at First UMC Mocksville. Let’s keep the momentum going.

🌱 What if a vacant lot became a place for prayer, peace, and community?

That’s exactly what First UMC Mocksville is creating: a welcoming space with walking paths, prayer journals, picnic tables, and room for neighbors to gather. 💚⛪✨

Yesterday, on Aldersgate Day we talked about John Wesley and his strangely warmed heart. Below is his journal entry for the following day.
May we have Jesus, Master in our heart and the good word of the gospel in our mouths.

What happened the day AFTER Aldersgate?

Thursday, 25.—The moment I awakened, “Jesus, Master,” was in my heart and in my mouth; and I found all my strength lay in keeping my eye fixed upon Him and my soul waiting on Him continually. Being again at St. Paul’s in the afternoon, I could taste the good word of God in the anthem which began, “My song shall be always of the loving-kindness of the Lord: with my mouth will I ever be showing forth thy truth from one generation to another.” Yet the enemy injected a fear, “If thou dost believe, why is there not a more sensible change? I answered (yet not I), “That I know not. But, this I know, I have ‘now peace with God.’ And I sin not today, and Jesus my Master has forbidden me to take thought for the morrow.” ~ John Wesley (journal entry May 25, 1738 -- the day after Aldersgate)

How is it that I never noticed that wonderful sentence about tasting the good word of God in the anthem he heard at St. Paul's ?

Our youth continue to impress with their musical talent. At the Davie High Chorus Concert last night, Ellie showed her love for singing as she performed with the Chorus. It was a magnificent concert! We’re proud of you, Ellie.

We have a talented group of young musicians in our Youth Group! Tonight and last week we were blessed to see the Spring Band Concerts for North Davie, South Davie, and Ellis Middle Schools, where our Youth Suzanne, Callie, Raegan, and Russell play! All three bands were spectacular, and Callie and Raegan both were awarded the Outstanding Band Student Award at North Davie! Congrats to both of them and all our Band Students for their hard work and talent!

It was Confirmation Sunday yesterday at First UMC! We were blessed to be able to welcome Finley, Evey, and Navy into the Church via Holy Baptsm, ans we had the joy of seeing Finley profess and claim her faith for herself through Confirmation! We give thanks for all that God has already given them, and we're excited to see where God takes them next!
