Tips and Tricks to get the most out of using FUMCPDX.org

Youth Sunday Podcast is Online

This is just a quick note for all the youth who helped with our brilliant service this past Sunday. The podcast of the service is now officially online. You can go download the recording of yourself on the iTunes Podcast directory – just search for fumcpdx and look for Youth Sunday, May 6.

Alternatively, you could just click on this link.

Complete Worship Services are Online!

Did you miss church last Sunday? We know there are many reasons you may not have been in the pews during the service.

Maybe you were in Sunday School teaching the Fourth Graders. Perhaps you had to set up for the coffee hour after the service. It’s possible that you were working in the nursery or some other part of the church. You might even have been skiing on Mount Hood…

No matter! Have we got a deal for you!

The whole worship service from Sunday morning is online! That’s the whole service from every Sunday morning!

Starting in January of this year, we have begun offering all of our Sunday morning services for playback online. Each service begins with the our lay leader’s announcements and plays right through to the end of the postlude.

You can listen to any of the services listed in the Sunday Morning section under the Worship heading right here on our website. Services that are available show up as a row links at the bottom of that Sunday’s entry (you’ll see them right under “Download the Bulletin” when they are available). Just click on the “Play Now”, “Play in Popup” to listen right away, or click on “Download” to get the service and play it later.

If you listen to podcasts using the iTunes Podcast directory, you can subscribe and have each week’s service delivered to your favorite listening device automatically. Go to the iTunes Podcast directory and search on fumcpdx to subscribe (or click on this link: Portland’s First United Methodist Church at iTunes).

Web Team Open House

Picture of the church website as it looked on February 15Please join us in room 110 on Monday, February 27, from 6 to 7:30 pm, for a Website Open House.

We’ll be exploring tips and tricks about how to use the church website. Plus we’ll be comparing notes and doing some training with the volunteers who help to manage it.

This is an open invitation to drop in during the evening and get questions answered and share ideas with others.

It is very informal, and all church members who are interested in learning more about the church website are encouraged to stop by.

If your group or committee is not currently listed on our website and you’d like to see it there, please join us.

This is the place to be on Monday night!

Contact the Web Manager for more details

Welcome to the New Website

The new website for Portland’s First United Methodist Church was launched on November 15, 2011.

If you don’t see your group or committee listed anywhere, it’s because we don’t have a volunteer from your group to help maintain your area yet.

Contact the web manager to get the ball rolling, and we’ll have you contributing to the site before you know it!
