"Easter in Jerusalem."

We are pleased to announce that we have hired Meagan Sisco as our new Wiggler Worship Coordinator. Meagan is not a stranger to FUMC Graham as she served as our Staff Nursery Caregiver from 2012-2015. She brings to the position much passion, excitement, and experience with serving preschool-aged children and their families. Meagan will begin this Sunday, April 28.

+ Please remember the Michael Few family (Theron Few's son) who died on Wednesday, April 17.

Since several have requested podcast versions of Sunday messages, we now have some sermons available on our website and also in the iTunes Store . Simply search for "Kevin Baker Sermons" to to subscribe or click the picture.

Join us as our District CARE (Christians Concerned about Racial Equity) sponsors an afternoon pilgrimage through lesser told stories of our racial history, some tragic and some holding tremendous hope for a future that builds upon a rich history of interracial collaboration.

We will be discussing the book Sensible Shoes, a novel about four women who journey together spiritually and who become fast friends. Along with them, we'll learn the spiritual practices of lectio divina, the examen, journaling, and various ways to pray. We'll see ourselves in them and see how they (and we) grow throughout the course.

If you're interested, please e-mail

Beth Gove or text 919-417-7947. We'll set meeting times based on our availability.

We only have a few more weeks until Youth Sunday, scheduled May 19th!

Our Board of Directors has asked us to consider prayerfully helping to raise money to purchase a new-to-us van. Our van is used extensively for bringing people to church and for transporting youth, children, and adults to participate in church projects. Our goal is for 150 gifts of $100 apiece, payable in increments if desired. If you would like to help, please mark your gift “Van Replacement Fund.”

Would you like to help offset the cost of summer camp for children in kindergarten through the 8th grade? If so, consider donating $120 to our campership fund or providing a full campership for families in need. Contact Brian if interested.
