First United Methodist Church

I think most of us out there have been touched by cancer in one way or another.  Whether it was you, a family member, someone you work with, or a friend, everyone's seen the effects this terrible disease can have.  It can wreak havoc on the body, the spirit and the mind...

The Pettis County EMA is hosting an evening of Storm Spotter Training. Training is provided by the National Weather Service on Feb. 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 1701 West 32nd St.

Each year, more than 4 million people in over 20 countries raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer through the Relay For Life movement.  Relay for Life of Pettis County will have its team captain and committee meeting on Thursday, Feb. 20.

Here's a look at what's going on in our area this week! The events around this time of year get a little bit light so I thought I'd keep you updated with what's going on in the upcoming week too.

The Le Leche League will have their next meeting on January 7 at 6:30 at the First United Methodist Church Celebration Center. The Le Leche League of Sedalia has an important mission for families, and particularly for Mothers. They believe that mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of the baby, and their next meeting on Jan.

This morning I got to talk a little bit about a great project that's going to be coming to our area this summer.  I'm sure most people are familiar with Habitat for Humanity - they're a group that builds homes for families and individuals who are in extreme need.  With Sedalia's generous spirit, I'm sure that all of you will be interested in what they're doing.
