Our Mission & Vision 

To be disciples we must listen, learn, lead and love our way to God. 

 

Worship

We invite you to worship with us every Sunday morning in the church sanctuary, or by following the service live on Facebook.

Worship begins at 9:25am.

Children’s Sunday school takes place during our worship service and nursery care is available during the service as well.

 

Batavia First UMC is interested in hiring a nursery attendant.

This individual would be needed for 2 hours every Sunday morning and occasionally for additional hours during special events.

Competitive pay.

If interested, please call Brian at 585-356-4767.

We invite you to join us for the following Easter events and services.

 

Palm Sunday Service

March 29, 9:25am

There will be a palm procession and traditional hymns.  Our Scripture readings will be Psalm 118:1-2 and 19-29 & Matthew 21:1-11.  The title of Pastor Marilyn’s morning message is “Marching Orders”.  The message asks where are we when the parade moves from celebration to condemnation?

 

Maundy Thursday

Dinner with Friends

April 2

5:30pm

As Jesus and his disciples ate their last supper together, they gathered around the table to enjoy a good meal and engage in important conversation.  In essence, what we experience as we gather at dinner with friends.

We invite you to join members of Batavia First UMC and members of Oakfield UMC on Maundy Thursday as we gather together for a meal that will be very similar to what might have been on the table at the Last Supper.  The menu will include roast beef and bean stew, roasted chicken, cucumbers, fruit and pita bread.  We will share in a time of communion, remember the last supper, and have conversation with friends.  There will be seated activities for children in attendance.

The dinner will take place in the Batavia First UMC Fellowship Hall at 8221 Lewiston Road, Batavia.  All are welcome.  There is no charge to attend, but please make a reservation by March 27 by calling the BFUMC office at 343-4708, or by emailing office@bataviafirstumc.com.
