Ushers Needed for January. We need several people to serve as ushers for the month of January. Ushers perform a very important role for our Sunday Church services in greeting our members and guests and answering their questions.

You do not need to be a member of the Church to serve as an usher. All you will need to do is to arrive early for Church service (about 10:00 AM).

To volunteer to serve as an usher, you can to do so by signing up on the January usher list, which is next to the kitchen door near Fellowship Hall, or see Don Shelton, who is serving as head usher for the month of January. You can email Don at dshelton0117@yahoo.com (or call him at 812/822-2749.)

Please consider volunteering for this very important service for the Church.

DISCERNMENT SESSIONS continue …Members and friends of First United Church are invited into a time of communal discernment through prayer, conversation and intentional listening to gather information for creating a church profile which will be used in the search process for calling your next settled Senior Minister. 

We hope you’ll carve out a couple of hours to participate in at least one gathering from each of the Discernment Sessions. The next session is this Sunday, January 5,

2020, 12:00-2:00pm in Fellowship Hall. . If childcare is needed for one of the upcoming Sunday discernment meetings please email me at molly.koontz@yahoo.com.
