Mark is an odd text. It’s abrupt and sometimes clumsy. The text wants to hurry the reader through the story as if its author can’t wait for us to know all the things it contains. With that said\, the Gospel of Mark is astonishing in its complexity and its allusiveness. For most of Christian history\, Mark was the neglected Gospel. Yet reading this gospel along with current events\, Mark is remarkably apt for our times. Join us on Thursdays as we walk through this fascinating\, relevant gospel together. There is no homework for this class and no required reading materials. All you need to bring is yourself\, your Bible\, your questions and your thinking caps! \n  \nRegister\n\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone* URL:https://fumcfw.org/event/pastor26/2026-04-09/ LOCATION:Room 336 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fumcfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Pastors-Bible-study26_EV.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260409T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260409T103000 DTSTAMP:20260410T171353 CREATED:20260114T194626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260210T164443Z UID:10036039-1775727000-1775730600@fumcfw.org SUMMARY:Moms' Bible Study DESCRIPTION:Thursdays | January 22 – April 30\, 2026\n9:30 – 10:30 am | The Library\nRegistration Requested\nYou’re invited to a time of Bible study and solidarity for moms. This semester\, we’ll be diving into the bold and beautiful story of Esther. In a world that often tries to quiet women’s voices\, Esther reminds us that God speaks powerfully through women’s courage\, wisdom\, and everyday faithfulness. Together\, we’ll explore how God works through our ordinary lives. \nThis study is a space for honest conversation\, laughter\, prayer\, and support as we listen for God’s call in our own stories. Come as you are—tired\, hopeful\, overwhelmed\, curious—and find strength in Scripture and in one another. We’ll meet weekly on Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. in the church library. Your voice matters here; your story and strength are gifts to this community. \n  \nRegister\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone* URL:https://fumcfw.org/event/mom26/2026-04-09/ LOCATION:Library ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fumcfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Moms-Bible-Study_25_EV.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260408T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260408T203000 DTSTAMP:20260410T171353 CREATED:20260216T154903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T180742Z UID:10036527-1775674800-1775680200@fumcfw.org SUMMARY:Young Adults Small Groups DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays | 7:00 – 8:30 pm\nRoom 331\nThe last Wednesday of the month off campus:\nMarch 25 | Salsa Limon on Magnolia\nApril 29 | Panther City BBQ\nMay 27 | Curly’s\nJoin us for an engaging and welcoming small group designed specifically for young adults.

The Book of Daniel is a rich and complex text set during the Babylonian exile\, when the people of Israel were living under foreign rule\, far from home\, and wrestling with questions of identity\, faithfulness\, and hope. It follows Daniel and his companions as they navigate life in the courts of powerful empires—Babylon and Persia—while remaining rooted in their covenant with God. \nDaniel is unique because it blends multiple genres. The first half (chapters 1–6) reads like court tales—narrative stories of faith under pressure: refusing royal food\, surviving the fiery furnace\, and the lions’ den. These stories highlight courage\, resistance\, and God’s faithfulness in the midst of political and cultural tension. \nThe second half (chapters 7–12) shifts into apocalyptic literature\, filled with dreams\, visions\, symbolic beasts\, and cosmic upheaval. This genre uses vivid imagery to reveal deeper spiritual truths: that even when earthly kingdoms seem dominant\, God’s reign is ultimate and enduring. Apocalyptic writing often emerges in times of crisis\, offering hope not by denying reality\, but by reframing it through God’s larger story. \nFor us today\, Daniel speaks into moments when faith feels countercultural\, when the world feels unstable\, or when we wonder how to live with integrity in systems we did not choose. It invites us to consider: How do we remain faithful without withdrawing? How do we trust God when outcomes are uncertain? And how might hope take shape—not as easy optimism\, but as resilient\, imaginative trust in God’s ongoing work? \nThere is no homework for this class and no required reading materials. We will read and discuss the text together in depth each week. \n  \nRegister\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email\n \n PhoneWill you need childcare?*\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n Please list the names and ages of all children* URL:https://fumcfw.org/event/wed26/2026-04-08/ LOCATION:Room 336 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fumcfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Wednesday-Night-Bible-Study26_EV-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260408T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260408T190000 DTSTAMP:20260410T171353 CREATED:20250113T170031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250113T170031Z UID:10033557-1775671200-1775674800@fumcfw.org SUMMARY:Handbell Ringers DESCRIPTION:Rehearsals | Wednesdays\n6:00 – 7:00 pm | Room 315\nInterested in Handbells? \nCome join our handbell ringers!

Once enrolled in Academy classes\, children will stay in the same rooms with the same teachers all semester. Some classes are designed for younger elementary and some for older elementary. 5th Grade has its own class\, called High Five. While the subject areas are varied\, each class will work from the same Bible story and memory verse each month. \n  \nContact: Megan Ladd \n Class Descriptions\n  \nThreadbare Puppet Studio | K – 1st\nOur church has a national reputation for our innovative use of puppetry — from shadow puppets to giant processional puppets\, to the beloved Wendell and Lorraine. Children build different kinds of puppets out of household objects\, and even put on puppet shows.\n\nWorkshop of Wonders (W.O.W.) | 2nd – 4th\nThis class is part Sunday School\, part Children’s Museum. There are times when the whole group will sit together to experience a Bible story\, a prayer\, and a devotion based on one of the Workshop of Wonders activities. And there will be plenty of time for children to explore what they choose to at their own pace. They can build ramps and marble runs\, experiment at the Light Laboratory\, see what can fly at the Flight Lab\, and much more.\n\nMad Scientists | K – 2nd\nIs your child fascinated with how things work? It doesn’t get much more hands-on than Mad Scientists\, where children explore the wonder of God’s world through numerous fun experiments\, writing in their log books (prayer journals)\, and even taking care of live animals and plants.\n\nCreation Care | K – 2nd\nChildren explore the values of care\, kindness\, gentleness\, and responsibility as they take care of several classroom plants and animals. The class helps reinforce the important role children play in caring for God’s world and for one another.\n\nDig In | 2nd – 4th\nThis room is a real dig site! Children search for scripture tablets and Bible artifacts. They scour the entire Children’s Wing for hidden code breakers and clues. No two weeks are alike in Dig In. It’s Indiana Jones-meets-Sunday morning.\n\nFaith In Action | 2nd – 4th\nWe’re bringing back an old favorite. In Faith in Action children take the stage to play improv and theatre games\, put on costumes to act out Bible stories\, and use instruments to create a Bible story “radio show.” The children become a part of the story!\n\nPlay Together\, Pray Together | K – 1st\nPlay is the work of childhood. Play is how children make sense of the world and their place in it. Children will explore the great stories and ideas of our faith through play. They won’t just build with Legos\, but with GIANT Legos. They’ll play GIANT Bible board games where the children themselves are the game pieces. Ten Commandments Hopscotch\, model train layouts of Bible stories\, and so much more.\n\nThe Visual Arts | 2nd – 4th\nChildren paint\, sculpt\, mold\, and build. Their work is featured throughout the Children’s Wing as well as in worship. This is no mere “Sunday School craft class.” These kids make art!\n\nTherapy Dogs | 3rd – 4th\nA hit since they first joined us\, our therapy dog teams are back! Children work with trainers and real therapy dogs each week. This class explores some of the many ways therapy dog teams exhibit the Christian traits — love\, peace\, patience\, kindness\, forgiveness\, acceptance — we all should have. Because we have actual live dogs in this class\, a requirement is that your child not be allergic to dogs.\n\nHigh Five | 5th\nALL our Fifth Graders have their own class. They explore their faith through Testament\, our creative journaling\, and holy conversation curriculum. They also have time to hang out with friends in a cool environment that they get to help design. This class is like Pre-Youth — loads of content\, loads of fun.\n \n  \nRegister\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Child's Last Name*Child's First Name*Child's Grade (2025-2026)*Choose OneKindergarten1st grade2nd Grade3rd grade4th grade5th gradeChild's First Choice*Choose OneThreadbare Puppet Studio | K – 1stWorkshop of Wonders (W.O.W) | K - 1stDig In | 2nd - 4thPlay Together\, Pray Together | 2nd - 4thVisual Arts | 2nd - 4thHigh Five | 5thPlease consider each opportunity and choose carefully — we want you to stick with your choice the entire semester!Child's Second Choice*Choose OneThreadbare Puppet Studio | K – 1stWorkshop of Wonders (W.O.W) | K - 1stDig In | 2nd - 4thPlay Together\, Pray Together | 2nd - 4thVisual Arts | 2nd - 4thHigh Five | 5thPlease consider each opportunity and choose carefully — we want you to stick with your choice the entire semester!Join waitlist for:\n \n Therapy Dogs | 3rd-4th\n Therapy Dogs class is full.

It is an unfolding story—one that refuses to move in a straight line. \nThis season leads us through moments we think we understand\, only to surprise us with a turn we did not see coming. Dust becomes the beginning of breath. Loss opens into life. The cross does not end the story. Grace interrupts where we expected resolution. \nThis year\, we walk the labyrinth together—a path shaped by turns rather than shortcuts. The labyrinth does not test us or trick us; it invites us to trust the path beneath our feet. Like the parables Jesus told\, it draws us forward through reversals and interruptions\, teaching us that God often works through surprise rather than certainty. \nAs we journey through Lent\, we will listen again to stories marked by plot twists: seeds scattered without guarantee\, lost things found in celebration\, grace that feels unfair yet proves abundant\, love that grows quietly until it shelters the world. Each story begins in familiar ground and then turns\, asking us to see differently and live more deeply. \nThe path is not meant to be hurried. You may feel turned around at times—but disorientation is often where transformation begins. In God’s time\, what feels like circling becomes a deeper movement inward\, and every unexpected turn becomes an invitation into grace. \nWalk slowly. Pay attention to the turns. Trust the story still unfolding. \nHow to Use This Devotional Each day offers three simple movements: \n\n Scripture: A single verse to center your attention and prayer.\nWandering Deeper: A brief reflection or small action to guide your contemplation. Some are inward\, others outward — each is an invitation\, not an obligation.\n Prayer: A few lines to speak aloud or hold in silence.\n\n\nSundays are marked as “Little Easters.” They are pauses in the Lenten fast — reminders that even in the wilderness\, resurrection hums beneath the surface. Use these days for rest\, joy\, and gratitude.You can walk this journey alone or with others. Families may adapt the reflections with simple gestures: lighting a candle\, planting a seed\, sharing one word of gratitude. The point is not to finish perfectly but to stay open to grace. \nThe God who formed you from dust will walk beside you through every turn — calling you deeper\, not farther; wider\, not faster; homeward\, not elsewhere. \n\n\nDaily Devotional URL:https://fumcfw.org/event/dailylabyrinth/2026-04-05/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fumcfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/The-Daily-Labyrinth-A-Lenten-Devotional_EV.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260405 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260406 DTSTAMP:20260410T171353 CREATED:20230421T152333Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250807T204359Z UID:10025076-1775347200-1775433599@fumcfw.org SUMMARY:Opportunities to Serve DESCRIPTION:Weekly\nAs Christians\, we are called to share God’s love with others. By giving of our time\, our talents\, and our gifts\, we show by example what it means to “go out and be God’s people in the world\,” and in so doing\, we enrich the lives of those we serve — even as our own lives are enriched by the experience of connecting with God and one another through our gifts and our service.

I look for video clips\, I read his biographies\, I research articles from the Fred Rogers Institute. \nOver and over\, his words have been a tremendous source of inspiration and encouragement\, especially during those times when I truly wonder if I have what it takes to help others through hard things. \nFrom that gentle soul\, and ordained Presbyterian minister\, we learn: \n• To “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”\n• “Anything mentionable can be made more manageable.”\n• “The only thing evil can’t stand is forgiveness.” \nThis Good Friday\, we will explore the story of the day Jesus died\, but in a slightly different way. We will invite Mister Rogers to share his words of comfort\, kindness\, and love so that we can have a deeper understanding of the beautiful\, hard thing Jesus did that night. And so we can walk away heartened to face the beautiful\, hard things that are part of our own human experience.
