Our Mission :
|
|
At Urbana 1st UMC, we provide opportunities to grow in faith through
worship that makes a difference, education that teaches salvation through
Jesus Christ, and outreach and fellowship that reflect God's love. |
Greetings From Dr. John :
|
Welcome to Urbana 1st! When you come to worship here, you'll be overwhelmed with the size and beauty of the building; it looks like a Gothic cathedral. But that's all it is - a building. It is what's inside that counts. Each of us needs some "sacred space"; a place where we can go and feel the Presence of God. |
| We're ready to help you find your "space". There are programs in place for you to feel connected with God. There is a worship experience that provides you the quietness and the holiness you need to establish that special link with Jesus' Presence. In the words, the songs, and even the quietness, you will discover again the holiness you need. I look forward to meeting you in person. | |
Reflections (July 20, 2008)
Birthdays are wondeful. I've always been surprised when I think that Don Wade, Doug Himelick (my neighbor) and I share the same birth date. What a coincidence. This birthday is more special than all of the others for me. It is a tangible reminder that life is frail and also worth treasuring. Whenever it is, treasure your birthday. We know what it means, don't we.
