We will be starting a new sermon series entitled, "God's Plan for Purity," on Sunday, August 17. In this four-week series we will look at the biblical guidelines for purity and examine the destructive results of ignoring these guidelines. The sermons will certainly be "G-Rated," so that nothing should be offensive to a second grade student, but the messages will be oriented toward adults and teens. If as a parent you would not feel comfortable having your child in the service, we encourage you to take advantage of the excellent children's programming offered at the 9:40 and 11:00 hours. August 17: “Truth or Consequences� August 24: “Free Love Isn’t Free� August 31: “Your Body, God’s Temple� September 7: “Taking Every Thought Captive�

During Advent, we have been featuring missions projects. This is week #3 -- The Children's Advocacy Center, Fort Walton Beach, FL

During our "On Our Watch" Advent Message Series at First United Methodist Church of Niceville, FL, we are focusing on a missions project each week. This week it is Shoes for the children participating in our new Upward Soccer program among the children at the Dump in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Stefani Aldefer gives the announcements, especially featuring the Children's building, as parents attend to enjoy the "Children's Celebration" as a culmination of Vacation Bible School week at Niceville UMC.

Our Children's building is starting to feel like the building it will become--with walls and windows, ramp and stairs and the concrete floor poured out farther into the "rounded" area of the building. Things are going up quickly now!

Exciting progress has occurred on our new Children's Building. The expanse of the building and infrastructure is making it feel very real. Children's Ministries are announcing registrations soon for classes to be held in this wonderful new facility come Fall 2009.

After surveying and marking the area earlier this week, workers began digging, moving, dumping, spreading and compressing dirt to lay the necessary "groundwork" for building our Children's Building at First United Methodist Church of Niceville. It's a little noisy but very exciting. Check back for further brief video clips of weekly progress!
