You are invited for a time of worship and fellowship on Sunday, August 23, 2026, as we celebrate the 160th anniversary of Boone-First United Methodist Church. We will mark this special day in worship by offering songs and prayers, hearing the “Good News” preached by our own Bishop Kennetha Bigham-Tsai, and receiving God’s grace through the sharing of Holy Communion. Following worship, we will gather in the Fellowship Hall for celebratory meal. You will also have an opportunity to visit a specially-curated exhibit of our church archives that will display some important historical documents of the congregation and denomination, pictures, memory books, church directories, and more!
