We tend to live very full lives that don't leave us much room for the spiritual practice of fasting. Listen to this week's sermon as Pastor Jon explores the ways fasting makes room in our lives to hunger and thirst for Christ (link in bio). . . . #loveBeaumont

Every month on our newsletter, The Spire, we love to feature one of the many stories of people who make First Methodist a church that loves the city with the heart of Christ. We call these "Heartbeat Stories." You can also find them on the Heartbeat Blog on our website. Here's a snippet of this month's feature about our dear brother Fred Simon: . . . "Fred and Gene joined FUMC in 1970 and were the first African American family to join the all-white congregation in downtown Beaumont. The day they filled out the membership card, Pastor John Wesley Hardt came to their house to welcome them. The congregation of FUMC embraced diversity with Rosa Dieu taking the lead to make sure everything went well for the Simons. Fred and Gene didn’t take the easy road. They followed the Spirit when it led them to this congregation, and they didn't let racism get in the way of serving Jesus. Fred’s stories reveal a man who took the troubles that life handed out, dealt with them and kept a beautiful, positive outlook. " . . .
