The latest news from around the District
In the past five years, the worship attendance at Lexington First has increased 24%. We recently voted to purchase the old Ford Building next door for expansion. We are now going through a capital campaign to pay off this debt. We have plans to put up a building at some point in the future. There has been some talk about an interactive Children’s Center. It would be a new way of of presenting Christ to the next generation, involving computers and arts and crafts. This in turn could be used as a ministry during the week for children in the community....

As a member of the Ministerial Alliance for our community, we host interdenominational services throughout Holy Week and participate in the community worship services that are held in observance of Thanksgiving, as well as Easter Sunrise Service. Our roots are deep in our community, our nation, and our world. In cooperation with other United Methodist churches in our region, we provide a Toy Store for needy children who attend our city schools so their Christmas may be blessed. We donated to our Junior High/Senior High band when they were invited to participate in this year’s Memorial Day parade in Washington, D.C. We annually provide a contribution towards our high school’s Project Graduation on that special night. This fall we will be sponsoring a “Fifth Quarter” gathering for the families and students who attend the home football game that evening. We provide a Wednesday night meal, games, and Bible study for children from preschool through high school. Our connection with the United Methodist Church is also vital. We provided monies towards the Bishop’s new residence in Africa. We contributed to the Lenten World Hunger offering, as well as Hannah’s Hope. Our connection to the world is also important to us.
