These are Highlights of our 4th Sunday in Lent worship service.  Thank you for joining us in worship.

Here are some highlights from our March 3 service.  It marked the 3rd Sunday of Lent.  Join us in worshipping our God.

This is the solemn Good Friday service.  Join us, as we consider together the cost of the cross and the unfathomable love of God it symbolizes.  Permission to podcast "Surely This was the Son of God" by Pepper Choplin obtained from ONE LICENSE License #P-400031.  All rights reserved. 

May 1 is the 3rd Sunday of Easter.  Here are highlights from the service.  You can download a bulletin from the website.

Thanks so very much to Ben, Jerrie Sue, Buddy, and Donna Ratzlaff for providing the audio files for today's service.  The weather kept us at home, but the Lord provided the people and technology needed to put together this abbreviated service.  Let us worship the LORD!

Here are highlights of our Christmas Eve worship service.  Unfortunately neither the choir not the congregation's singing was picked up.  But you can still sing along with Jerrie Sue!  Merry Christmas!

It's the last Sunday of Advent!  Thanks, Pastor Buddy, musicians, and the youth group for leading us in today's service.  The bulletin and insert can be found on our church website at https://fumc-copperhill.org/2021/12/19/bulletin-for-dec-19/.  

Grab your Bibles and let's study together as Buddy discusses Ephesians 6:10-20.  This is the last session of his Ephesians series.

This study looks at Ephesians 4:1-16, one of the Apostle Paul's most heartfelt calls for unity among believers.

This is the third session of Pastor Buddy's Ephesians Bible study.  It is also available in video form on the church YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/iJdHUouuvNE

In this last study of the Lenten series, Pastor Buddy prepares us for celebrating Palm Sunday.  In many ways, he suggests, each person is "Jerusalem."  He'll explain, as he teaches from Matthew 21: 1-11.

Pastor Buddy helps us take a deeper look into what happened between Jesus and the Samaritan woman.  Turn to John 4, grab a pen and paper, and let's learn something new together about that woman--and what we might have in common with her.

Pastor Buddy guides us as we take another look at John 3:16 and the verses that surround it.  He shows us some thought-provoking connections between snakes and the cross, between God's love and our acceptance of that love.

Buddy continues leading us in familiar Holy Week Scriptures.  But he brings new ideas to this discussion of Jesus cleansing the temple.  

Questions raised by Pastor Buddy in this study include:

• What was Peter's definition of "Messiah"?
• What is OUR definition of "Messiah"?
• Who is Jesus to us?
• What does it mean to be His disciples in 2021, in Copperhill, TN?

May these studies bless you and help you grow in your faith.
