Yesterday evening, three members of Mulberry's Youth were baptized in the Ocmulgee River. It was a special occasion for two reasons: 1. Naturally, it was a wonderful time of spirit-filled fellowship with friends and family as we collectively celebrated this wonderful occasion! 2. This was Rev. Trevor Ward's last duty with a Youth group who loves him dearly, and a church that sends him with lots of love to Tifton First UMC!... Join us in celebrating with these young folks and thanking Trevor for his years of service!

Online Sanctuary Worship May 16, 2021 The Reverend Dr. Nita Crump, Senior Pastor Chutes and Ladders a sermon by Rev. Craig Hutto Ascension Sunday... Proverbs 2:1-15 Please join us for Recorded Sanctuary Worship. The bulletin for this service is: https://bit.ly/3uWQ4e8 Rev. Craig Hutto joins us on this Ascension Sunday to preach out of Proverbs. We also take time to recognize our high school graduates! Here’s a word from Rev. Hutto on his sermon: Making decisions is a part of life. We don't always know if our decisions are good or not so good. It's a little like playing the game, Chutes and Ladders, where one decision can have us moving up a ladder or another decision can have us sliding down a chute. God's Word reminds us that God is more than willing to give us His wisdom so that the decisions we make will be right and noble and good. Worship Leadership: Dr. Nita Crump, Senior Pastor Rev.

You may have noticed the beautiful flower arrangement in the sanctuary this past Sunday. It was given by the Berg family in loving memory of James A. Berg IV "Bo", and their parents Anne and James Berg, and Mary and Tom Williams. With the family's permission, the original arrangement was disassembled into seven parts and delivered to homebound Mulberry members. We thank the Berg family for allowing us to share our love with these members in such a special way!
