F.D. Glenn
Dearest First United Methodist Church Family,
It is with deepest sadness I inform you that our faithful and loving servant (my neighbor), F.D. Glenn, caught the train this morning at 11:20 a.m. and has returned to his heavenly home. F.D.’s Lord and Savior has summoned him home today, August 9, 2020.
Services are pending. I will inform you as soon as information is available.
Let us give thanks to God for the life of F.D. and the time we were privileged to know him. We are grateful and blessed to have known F.D. and his faithfulness to his family, friends, community, and the church.
Please keep Carol and family in your prayers.
“When the storms of life are raging, stand by me. When the world is tossing me, like a ship upon the sea, thou who rules wind and water, stand by me.”
Surely, the gates of heaven has been open to our church these last couple of months. But we give thanks that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, stands by us during this storm. We give thanks to God for every breath that we take and the people who are around us.
“Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10.
Peace and Love!

Tyler Cobb
Dear First United Methodist Church,
It is with deep deep sadness that I inform you that one of our youth, Tyler Cobb along with his friend Jace Gill, died today, May 16, 2020, in a side-by-side (SxS or UTV) accident.
My heart hurts just writing this email to you. My prayers are for Shelli, Brian, Clayton and Conner.
We pray that God upholds us now as we entrust Tyler to God’s eternal care. Assure us God that not even death can separate us from your infinite love and mercy.
Services are pending. I will inform you as soon as it is available.
Please keep the Cobb family in your prayers. Please also keep the Gill family in your prayers.
May the love and peace of God surround these families and yours today and forevermore.
Thank you God for gifting Tyler to us for 15 years.
