On behalf of our entire church family, I'd like to welcome you to First United Methodist of Charlottesville. We hope you will join us for one of our four weekly worship services: we hold three different style services every Sunday morning and a mid-week communion and prayer service every Wednesday evening.

First church has many ways you can get connected in fellowship with others: we offer classes and small groups for adults, teens and kids; service teams and projects like the backyard mission, Loaves and Fishes community food pantry, PACEM homeless shelter, Appalachian Service Project and many, many more.

If you're interested in becoming an official member of First Church, we invite you to attend our Pathway training event, held every other month. And while membership is a great way to connect with our church, please know that all are welcome to worship, celebrate communion, serve others and fellowship without becoming an "official" member of the church.

For more information on Pathway or any of our other programs, please contact the church office at (434) 296-6193, M-F from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Finally, if I can serve you in any way, please feel free to contact me directly (e-mail Rev. Al). I look forward to meeting you!

Shalom,

--Rev. Al Horton
