Humble Ourselves and Pray
2 Chronicles 7:14
All North Georgia United Methodists are invited to take part in 40 days of prayer and fasting from October 1 to November 9 in a spirit of Consecration for Renewal.

While one district's focus is fasting, the other seven will focus on prayer. 


Fasting Schedule
  • October 1-5, 2023    Central East District
  • October 6-10            Central West District
  • October 11-15            Central North District
  • October 16-20          Central South District
  • October 21-25           South East District
  • October 26-30         North East District
  • October 31-November 4   South West District
  • November 5-9          North West District
No one person or one church must fast all five days. District Lay Leaders will coordinate to be sure each day is covered so that individuals may fast one or more days as they're led by the Holy Spirit. 
​
(As always, wisdom should be exercised and doctor’s advice followed for persons with medical conditions.)

UMC Informational Meetings from 2022

As a follow-up to our spring 2022 conversations, Tucker First held three informational sessions on the options available to congregations in the midst of the ongoing denominational divide regarding the ordination and marriage of LGBTQIA+ clergy and congregants. These sessions were intended to provide clear information about the policies and procedures laid out by the North Georgia Annual Conference and the full range of possibilities for Tucker First as a local congregation.

  • August 25, 2022 – Rev. Dr. Byron Thomas, District Superintendent for the Central South District, Head of the Clergy Delegation to General Conference
  • September 1, 2022 – Dan Parr, President of the Wesleyan Covenant Association (WCA) for North Georgia, North Georgia Jurisdictional Conference Delegate, and Lay Member at Dahlonega United Methodist Church
  • September 8, 2022 – Summary and Next Steps

UMC Affiliation information

​In October 2022, in an effort to provide transparency and education regarding the current denominational issues, a committee of church leaders developed an informational document in response to some of your concerns and frequently asked questions. The TFUMC Affiliation Information Document was followed up with a church-wide survey on these matters. The results of the survey are available here as well.

The North Georgia Conference provided addtional follow up information on their website in June 2023 and we have linked that information here.
 
We are grateful that even in the midst of these uncertain times Tucker First continues to be engaged in vibrant and life-giving ministry. May we trust God to continue this good work and may we pray and discern together as a church in love and grace for one another.
