Central Has a One-of-a-Kind Opportunity
Central Methodist Church has the sole distinction of hosting the first Father's Day service in the world. Over 101 years ago the church honored its fathers in a small, but meaningful service. Tours of Central's Father's Day Room walk visitors through the history and progression of the now national holiday.
In a world where "fatherly figures" are so desparately needed, perhaps it is time to transition our celebration into a festival. Fairmont can become the destination were great fathering can be celebrated. The event would feature seminars on fathering, games and activities centered around fathering, national speakers, and host annual Father of the Year.
Many of these things are being done and have been done. A tremendous amount of work has laid the foundation for our Father's Day service. Ward Downs, Harold Goff, D.D. Meighen, Dora Grubb, Don Downs, and many others have spent countless hours and efforts to make the Father's Day celebration possible.
We should continue to honor the day and their efforts in an annual community-supported event, and create something that the whole region can be proud of. Let the Festival begin....

Welcome Baskets Are Being Distributed
Outreach Program: Welcome Baskets
The first Welcome Basket was delivered to a new family that bought a house in this neighborhood.They have two young girls and they were happy to find out we had a Daisy Group at our Church as well as a Children's Sunday School and Church. I think they will be visiting us in the near future. It was nice that each organization had an item to donate to the basket with an attached card welcoming the family to the Community and how to contact their organization/group:
The following have already made a commitment to the project:
Mary Ellen: homemade bread
The Lydia Ruth Circle: Tea Towels
The Natalie Circle: Tea
The Mary Martha Circle: Hot Dog Sauce
The Esther Circle: Jam
Wha-ke-we-nn/Dulcmer Group/Piecemakers: Candy
Marion County Historical Society: Cookies
The United Methodist women will coordinate the project under the leadership of Judy Thompson
Items do not need to be food, but something you would like to receive if you just moved into a new neighborhood.: We will also take monetary donation, and all Church Members can help .Keep your eyes open and let us know when someone moves into your neighborhood.

Father's Day Celebration
July 5, 2009 marks the 101st remembrance of the first Father's Day Service. On December 7, 1907, the worst mining disaster in the history of the United States happened in Monongah, WV. Over 360 miners were killed. Because of this, the first Father's Day Service was born and held on July 5, 1908 to honor all fathers.
Join us, on July 5th of this year for a renewed celebration of fathers. The event will feature heritage music by Wha-ke-we-nn, free hot dogs, tours of the Father's Day room and archives. The Rev. Fletcher Golden (played by D.D. Meighen) will offer a historical account of the historical day.
God Don't Make No Junk
Church Yard Sale to be held Friday, August 7th, 4-7pm and Saturday, August 8th 7am-2pm.
