FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, Houma, LA
6109 Hwy 311, Houma, Louisiana 70360            985/868-7787
     “Where there is no vision, the people perish,” Proverbs 29:18.  Following the same reasoning, where there is no vision, a church perishes.  What is your vision concerning the First United Methodist Church of Houma?  Do you see a sanctuary that is filled to overflowing for each and every service?  Does your vision concern facilities or programs that we need in order to complete our mission of making disciples for Jesus Christ?   What will our needs be in the year 2012?
     The Vision Committee of our church really needs your help and your input.  Click on Share Your Ideas below.  We would like for you to include your name, but if you wish to remain anonymous, please do so.  If you happen to be a computer-phobe, write out your vision and drop it in our suggestion box in the hall opposite the church office.  If neither of these means of communication appeals to you, contact one of the members of the Vision Committee.  They are Jimmy Hardin, Barry Hoekstra, Hartwell Lewis, Ray Moore, Rick Duet and Emily Elmore.
     Each of us wants our church to be the best that it can be.  Please prayerfully consider what that means to you and your family and join us in making it a reality.  May God bless all of our efforts.
