WHAT IS FUSION TONIGHT?

Fusion Tonight is our weekly worship talk show. It's fun and it's serious as we fuse our church life and our secular life into one integrated life of faith. Our host, Jon Cooper, will start the show on a light note before leading into our open mic prayer time, a church life segment, and offering, before our featured speaker takes the stage. We welcome you to join the live studio audience and come experience this different way to share in worship. We guarantee that you will be encouraged to "be Christ for one another". Wednesday nights, 6:00 p.m. upstairs in the theater.

YOUR ARRIVAL

  • plan to arrive by 5:50

  • enter through front doors under the drive-through canopy on Clay Street

  • as you enter, restrooms and coat rack will be on your right behind circular Welcome Desk

  • your kids are welcome at Fusion.

  • the Theater is all the way upstairs. Take the elevator to “3” or just keep walking upstairs until you can’t go up any more.

  • Fusion Tonight shares the theater space with the youth groups, so we’re a little flexible with the start time. Come on in and hang out until the show starts.

  • sit wherever you feel comfortable - there are no assigned seats

  • silence your mobile device. It’s OK to use it during worship, just make it quiet

  • regardless of what time we start, we try very hard to be done by 7:00

FIRST UMC FAQs

MORE FUSION TONIGHT INFO

Fusion Tonight is led by lay-people. Our pastors are usually in attendance, and we sometimes invite ordained clergy to be our featured speaker, but the intent of our talk show format is to give grass-roots-level Christians a forum to tell their stories of faith. That’s why it’s fun and it’s serious. Sometimes it’s a little bit raw, and it’s always completely real. You might hear things on Wednesday night that you wouldn’t hear on Sunday morning.

Fusion Tonight follows the school-year calendar. We have a month off in mid-winter and we take a summer break too.

Fusion Tonight is recorded and posted on our Youtube channel.

CRAZYFUNBUSY WEDNESDAY NIGHT (Sept-May)

Wednesday night is YOUR church night at First UMC. We know it’s hard to get from a busy workday or from school to evening church activities, so we’ll handle dinner for you. The Filling Station serves a supper from 5:15-6:00. Everyone is welcome to eat. A free-will contribution helps to cover the cost of the meal. After supper, you’re invited to head-off to the group that best suits you: BLAST (for kids), Youth groups for Jr & Sr High, or More than Moms (women’s study and connecting). While it’s not an organized group, there’s also usually a bunch of fellas hanging out, too. Then, finish the evening upstairs at Fusion Tonight.
