Loma Essex Ministry

 
The Morning Circle of the UMW began a "Loma Essex Ministry" to support our college students for which Loma had a great concern.   It was Loma's wish to keep in touch with these students from our church.  Please inform us of any change in your student's mailing address or if you have a freshman student to add to the list by calling the church office at 870-946-2328 or emailing the church at  fumcdewitt@centurytel.net.  
 
 
We ask for your prayers that this ministry will be the blessing we intend and we thank you for your support.

Eastertide


Easter is a 50-day season consisting of seven Sundays, beginning with Easter Sunday, marking Jesus’ resurrection, and ending with Pentecost, the birth of the church through the gift of the Holy Spirit to Christians.  The focus of this season is the hope of new life that we have now that God has defeated the power of sin and death through the resurrection of Jesus.  The traditional liturgical colors of this season are white and/or gold.
