Good Friday morning, Wrightsboro family!
It's Homecoming weekend! I hope you're making plans to be with us this Sunday. It's always good to come together, celebrate our church family, catch up with one another, and remember all the ways God continues to work here at Wrightsboro.
We have a special guest joining us this Sunday, too. My good friend, Rev. Trish Archer, will be preaching. Trish was my RIOM clergy coach and walked alongside me through my journey to ordination. I'm excited to have her with us, and I know we're in for a good morning!
And we're not just going to worship together. We'll get to break bread, share a meal, and spend some time around the table with one another afterward. That's what Homecoming is all about!
So invite somebody, bring a friend, and spend the morning with us. Looking forward to seeing everybody Sunday at 10:00.
Blessings and peace,
Pastor Tyler

CHILDREN'S CORNER
Our Children's Ministry at Wrightsboro UMC is a fun, welcoming place where children can grow in their faith, build friendships, and experience God's love. We have opportunities for every child, from birth through 5th grade!
Our nursery is available from 9:45–11:15 a.m. for children under the age of 5 who have not yet started Kindergarten, providing a safe and caring environment while parents worship.
Wrightsboro Kids Church takes place during our 10:00 a.m. worship service. Children in Kindergarten through 5th grade are encouraged to begin worship with their families (or check in with Ms. Hannah before the service). Following the offering, children are invited to join Ms. Hannah in the Kids Center for an engaging Bible lesson, games, hands-on activities, and plenty of fun as they grow in their faith together.
Would you like to be part of this exciting ministry? We'd love to have you! If you're interested in serving with our children's ministry in any way, please contact Ms. Hannah, our Children's Ministry Coordinator.
