Welcome to First Methodist Church! We are so glad you are here. Whatever your week has been like, whatever your life has been like, whatever you look like, and whether you believe what we believe or disagree with us, you are welcome in this place in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer requests can be texted to us at (806) 304-6649, or emailed to prayer@firstmethodist.church.
If this is your first time here, we have a gift for you! Visit the welcome table by the entrance, and a member of our Guest Connections Team will happily assist you.
Our nursery is available for infants to pre-k students. We believe in family worship, so your kids are welcome to stay in the worship service with you. We have a time for children during worship where kids are invited to come forward to hear from our children’s ministry team. If your children are joining you in worship, we offer “wiggle bags” filled with activities for your children to do during worship. Wiggle bags may be found at the back of the worship space by the entrance.
Please join us as we take down Advent decorations around the building. Your help is greatly appreciated!
All are invited to the church parlor this afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 to celebrate Vivian Thurman's birthday!
Any money left at the Communion rails this morning will go to the Wesley at WT. To give via text message, send "GIVE [amount]" to (833) 564-4255. Open the link you receive, and select "Communion Offering" from the dropdown menu.
If you would like to provide altar flowers in honor or memory of a loved one, we still have a few Sundays available. Please call the church office at (806) 655-2851 for more information.
