Happy Friday, Church!!!
Beginning June 1, First Methodist is going to be lifting our request that you follow COVID precautions while on campus. Based on the vaccination rates in McLennan County, we feel like we are finally reaching a point where our most vulnerable populations have been vaccinated and anyone who wants to receive the vaccine is able to do so. That means that in the next six weeks or so, people will begin to have full immunity.
If you have not yet been vaccinated, I encourage you to do so!
While we will lift our COVID precautions in June, we will continue to maintain a section in each of our main sanctuaries for people to practice social distancing and mask wearing. This will allow those persons who cannot be immunized or have not yet reached full immunity to be able to continue attending church regularly. We will also continue to offer online worship and hybrid discipleship classes.
Finally, I ask that you continue to observe COVID precautions while at First Methodist until June. You have done such an incredible job of loving the most vulnerable people in our community this last year and I am so proud to be your pastor.
If you need anything, please let me or one of the pastors know!
In Christ,
Ryan

With overwhelming joy and excitement I'm announcing the return of choir to First Methodist! Singing together before the Lord is one of the most important things that we do as believers. The season of softly singing to yourself is coming to an end and the season of joyfully combining our voices is upon us! Choir will look and feel different, but it will be good!
Choir will resume practicing in May for a 4 th of July music special at 11 am at Main Campus. Downtown choir begins May 5 th, 11 am practice. For more information, contact John Tidmore. |
