An adult ministry group of First United Methodist Church, Joyful Hearts take trips every other month.

The group travels to concerts and plays.

The stated purpose of Joyful Hearts is “to nurture the lives of adults 50 years and older as they join together in fellowship, and as they reach out to serve the needs of others in the church and in the community at large.”

Each month, Joyful Hearts choose a mission to serve. In March, the group is accepting donations for the FUMC Hospitality Fund.

The church will be replacing all the round, white table cloths to be used at Joyful Hearts meetings as well as other FUMC special events, weddings, and memorial services.

First United Methodist Church is located at 101 East First North Street in Morristown. For more information about Joyful Hearts, call 423-581-2180.
