Our Worship Services Program for October 2nd, 2022

World Communion Sunday
At First United Methodist Church Castle Rock we are touching people and changing lives through the love of Jesus Christ.
Quote of The Week: On this World Communion Sunday, may we have eyes to recognize God’s reflection in the eyes of those seated by us and in those beyond these walls. May we celebrate our differences and with a big heart love others. We give thanks that a table has been set with space enough for us all.
