December 2, 2010

Welcome to the web site of First United Methodist Church, Cheraw, South Carolina. We recently re-built the site and are quickly adding new material which we hope will be helpful to everyone who visits it.

We also welcome you to the Christian Season of Advent. As we worship together in this season of preparation for Christmas, I hope and pray that you will draw closer to the one who sent his only Son to live among us and die for us.

Amidst the social obligations of the season, I invite you to keep a mental and spiritual distance from the “busy-ness” which surrounds us. Christ did not come into the world to give credence to a frenzy of spending and frivolity. He came here to save us from our sins. We should prepare our hearts for his arrival.

In December we are offering a series of services and events which will help us to worship the Lord and draw closer to him. I hope to see you soon at First United Methodist. Blessings on you, and Merry Christmas!
