A Ministry Overview – from Dr. Michael Marcades, DMM

If I were to wish for anything I should to wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of what can be, for they eye, which , ever young and ardent, sees the possible.  Pleasure disappoints, possibility never.  And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating as possibility? – Sǿren Kierkegaard__________________

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13

At the heart of all effective ministries lies an effective guiding philosophy and accompanying set of spiritual beliefs.  Here at FUMC, within the Music Ministry, we seek to:

-          offer musical excellence, soli Dei Gloria (to the greater glory of God);

-          believe in the transcending power of possibility thinking; and

-          rely on our Heavenly Father, our risen Christ, and the empowering Holy Spirit to make us more than we could ever be on our own.
