First United Methodist has long been a leader in offering the best traditional worship services in the country. With the opening of its new Christian Life Center (CLC), First Church joins a growing number of churches offering a weekly contemporary worship service. Beginning at 9:45 am, this service is called The First Light Worship Hour. It meets in the Great Hall of the new building. This new space features two large video screens and stage with the latest in video, sound, lighting and computer technology. 

Since music is one of the most important dimensions of the First Light Service, it offers a mixture of contemporary Christian music, old time gospel and hymns. The music leaders are Junior and Mickie Vasquez; they are backed by the First Light Band, a group of some of the finest professional musicians in this area.
 

Any growing church has to offer multiple opportunities for people to worship and serve the Lord.  Junior Vasquez has put together one of the best bands in the city. On top of this, they are all Christians who believe in the mission of First Methodist. 

The band plays all types of music: rock, country, traditional hymns, classical and musical presentations. Vasquez always reminds band members that they are not there to entertain but to worship God through music and His Word. Because of this attitude, Sunday mornings are a great worship service. Each service concludes with the sacrament of Holy Communion, which in the Methodist Church anyone can participate. Since this service is less formal and dress is casual, many families attend.

Jesus said ‘You are the light of the world’ (Matthew 5:14). We want our worshippers at this service to experience the light of Christ through music and praise.

 

COME AND WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY AT THE FIRST LIGHT WORSHIP HOUR!
