First United Methodist Church Bella Vista
In an abundance of caution, worship services have been suspended for the remainder of January. All in-person meetings and activities are canceled until further notice. Zoom Sunday School classes will continue as scheduled. Office hours are limited, so please call the church office before dropping by. Please continue to mail your pledges to the church. During the month of January, FUMCBV is joining the First Presbyterian Church of Bentonville's online worship services at 10:15 a.m. The link will be posted to the website and Facebook page on Sunday morning.
For many of us, 2020 brought profound grief. Maybe this grief was caused by the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, the loss of a job, the loss of companionship. Whatever the cause, you may be suffering from a crisis of the heart. If this is you, please consider the program: "When Mourning Dawns: Living Your Way through the Seasons of Grief" as a journey together in search of a new beginning in life, a fresh start.
Each Thursday evening from 5:30-7:30 p.m. beginning Jan. 21, for nine weeks, First United Methodist Church of Bella Vista offers a gathering to learn about and walk through grief together. This is not a "spill your guts" kind of gathering. Instead, you learn what grief does to us, share experiences in ways that are healing, watch videos that offer suggestions of how to heal, and lift our burdens through the love and care of each other.
Gatherings will take place on Zoom each week. Register to receive the Zoom link -- https://fumcbellavista.com/grief -- or call the church office at 479-855-1158. This invitation is open to everyone.
For questions or for more information, please contact the Rev. Brenda Wideman at [email protected] or 479-855-1158.
