Edna Ruth Medart Cowan
Dear FUMC Taylor Family and Friends,
I am both saddened and blessed to inform you that our beloved sister in Christ, Edna Ruth Medart Cowan, has died Monday night, October 2, 2017. Edna was a Methodist all her life and and she would often refer to other Methodists as “Good Methodists.” Her niece, Jane, asked Edna if there were any bad Methodists, and she replied, “No.” Jane said, “I guess that makes Edna a good Methodist also.” She was a long-time resident of Taylor, est. 65 years and a
member of FUMC Taylor for the same length of time. Edna has now returned home to be with God.
The visitation and funeral service for Edna are as follow:

A Season to Celebrate
The life of Christ from the manger to resurrection and Pentecost will be presented in a cantata by the choir of the First United Methodist Church (FUMC) in Taylor on Sunday, Sept. 10.
“A Season To Celebrate,” by Allen Pote will be performed at the 10:30 a.m. service. The choir is under the leadership of the church’s music director and organist Debbby Vester.
“This musicale is beautiful and fun,” Vester said. “We invite the public to join with us for this event.”
The approximately half-hour cantata will feature choral numbers and solos. There will also be a repeat appearance by The Three Wise Men, weary travelers who are bickering their way by camel to Bethlehem.
Portions of the cantata have been presented by the choir during various of the church seasons. This will be the first time they have performed the entire program at one time.
The First United Methodist Church is located at 907 West Lake Drive in Taylor. The Rev. Sela Finau is the church’s pastor.
