Church,

What a week! I am so grateful to everyone who has shown up to spend time with the Lord and His favorite people! We had a great Sunday in worship launching our “Opt In” campaign. If you were there, you know we are inviting our members to go all in with Christ and His Church this year! In response, we saw a HUGE turnout at the start of MidWeek on Wednesday night. It was the largest crowd at a Wednesday night meal that I can ever remember having. We had over 100 kids and volunteers in our children’s program, we started confirmation with 35 confirmands plus all their leaders, and our youth and adult classes kicked off with full rooms. If you didn’t make it this week, don’t miss out – we have a spot for you to participate!

Next week we will be hosting the first-ever Annual Awakening Conference. Over 500 people are registered to come and participate in this time of spiritual renewal. If you haven’t registered, Sunday is the deadline! You can register here: Annual Awakening Conference.

We are still looking for volunteers to help provide first-class FIRST METHODIST hospitality! We will have hundreds of people from around Texas who have never been to our church before and we want them to have a true First Methodist welcome! You can volunteer to work a single shift or the entire conference by clicking here: Volunteer for Awakening Conference.

As we head into the weekend, I am already looking forward to being in the house of the Lord with all of you as we laugh, pray, and build community around the love and grace of Jesus Christ. See you Sunday, Church!!!

In Christ,

Pastor Ryan
