This morning, a group of our college students are headed to Wilmore, KY for the Awakening Project at Asbury University, and we would love for you to join us in praying over them throughout the week.

Please pray for:
• Pray for safety, protection, and peace as we travel to and from Kentucky
• Pray that our students would encounter God in fresh and personal ways
• Pray for spiritual hunger, openness, and expectancy
• Pray that students would grow in their identity, faith, and calling
• Pray for deep friendships and meaningful community to form
• Pray for wisdom and discernment as students learn and process together
• Pray for our students to return encouraged, equipped, and empowered to serve and lead in the places God has called them
• Pray that this would not just be a meaningful week away, but that it would bear lasting fruit in our church, college ministry, and community.

Those traveling are Will Arnold, Connor Haynes, Anna Kate Hammett, Alina Rastetter, Greta Anderson, Sarah Francis, and Brooke Duncan.

Thank you for being people who faithfully pray and believe with us for what God wants to do in and through the next generation. 🤍💒

Sonshine Preschool still has a few spots available in our 4-year-old class for the upcoming school year!

At Sonshine Preschool, we believe in creating a loving, faith-filled environment where children can learn, grow, and discover the joy of God’s love. As part of our church’s mission to invite our community to find and follow the Spirit-led life in Jesus, we are passionate about raising up and impacting the next generation from the very beginning.

If you or someone you know is looking for a sweet, nurturing half-day preschool, Sonshine Preschool is a wonderful place to be.

At First Methodist Opelika, one of our core values is helping raise the next generation. We believe the Church is called to love and serve the children and families throughout our community.

Earlier this year, our Serve Together ministry partnered with West Forest Intermediate School to provide more than 50 clothing items and 20 pairs on new shoes for students who needed them most.

We’re grateful for the generosity of our church family and for the opportunity to love and support local students in such a meaningful way. 🤍

Still not over Easter Sunday. 🤍

What a meaningful and joyful day we shared together, celebrating the empty tomb and the hope we have because of it. Even days later, we continue to carry that joy and gratitude with us. It was such a blessing to gather in worship, fellowship with one another, and reflect on the true meaning of Easter.

Good Friday.

We remember the cross – the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made out of His great love for us.

As we reflect on His suffering and His sacrifice, may our hearts be filled with gratitude for the grace we have been given.

Sunday is coming!
