This month's edition of The First Word is now available for download: Click here to access the March issue. Submissions for next month's The First Word are due by April 5. As we move forward, we are committed to continually improving The First Word for the benefit of all members of our church community. This publication is an important tool for keeping everyone informed and connected, and we want to ensure that it is exceeding the needs and interests of all members.

To that end, we are actively seeking feedback from all members of the church on how we can improve the newsletter. We want to know what you like, what you don't like, and what you would like to see more of in the newsletter. Whether it's more information about upcoming events, more inspiring stories and articles, or more opportunities for engagement and connection, we want to hear your thoughts. Please if you have any feedback or questions email me at jcelorio@umc-kzo.org
