We would like to welcome Pastor Will White to First United Methodist Church to serve as our new Pastor.
The following paragraph was taken from Pastor Will’s introductory letter to the Members of FUMC.
The year was 1976. Jim Boice was Pastor of First United Methodist Church and he had been chosen to lead a confirmation retreat for youth from the churches that together made up the Winchester District of the United Methodist Church. I was one of the 50 children who attended that retreat, went to classes, played games and slept in sleeping bags on the floor of First United Methodist Church. Since that time, much has occurred in my life and in the life of First United Methodist Church, yet I am once again called to be part of First United Methodist Church. I stand in awe of the way God works and feel honored to become your Pastor and return to Winchester to serve you and God!

Bring your entire family to the ancient city of Rome! You’ll travel back into Bible times—without setting foot outside our community.
Each day, your family members can become part of history as they see, hear, touch, and even taste what it was like to live in Rome during Bible times! You’ll explore authentic Marketplace shops, visit the Apostle Paul (who’s under house arrest), sneak to the cave where the Underground Church meets, take part in games, dance to lively Bible songs, and sample tasty tidbits as you discover more about the early church. These experiences make God’s Word come alive with new meaning for all who participate!

It’s America’s favorite walking event! When you walk, you give hope to the families of babies born too soon or sick. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the serious problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies.
If you would like to participate and help the FUMC team, please visit the FUMC team site and register to walk.
