Are You a First-Time Guest?

If this is your first time here, we have a gift for you! Visit the welcome table in the foyer, and a member of our Guest Connections Team (they’ll be wearing a white name tag) will happily assist you. 

Nursery and Childcare

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 in the back of the sanctuary.

What's New at First Methodist

Next Week: Easter Lily Sales Begin

The Methodist Women in Service will be selling Easter lilies March 15, 22, and 29. The flowers will be $15 apiece and may be purchased in honor or memory of a loved one and will be used to decorate the sanctuary on Easter Sunday (April 5). Ordering envelopes will be available in the pew-back pockets, at the welcome areas, and in the church office.

Weekly Communion Service: Saturdays, 11:00-11:15 a.m., Sanctuary

Throughout the Lenten season, Pastor Hayden will be hosting a weekly Communion service in our Canyon campus’ sanctuary each Saturday from 11:00 to 11:15. Come remember Christ’s sacrifice, His death on the cross, and experience His love for you.

Good Friday Service: April 3, 6:30 p.m., Sanctuary

You're invited to an evening of reflection and worship on Friday, April 3, at 6:30 in our sanctuary as we remember and ponder Jesus' suffering and death on the cross.

Easter Egg Donations

The Amarillo campus is hosting its annual Community Easter Egg Hunt and Lunch on Saturday, April 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at its building. In order to make this event a success, we are taking up donations of plastic eggs filled with candy (no chocolate, please) or toys small enough to fit inside the eggs. Donations may be left in the containers in the narthex or outside Fellowship Hall.
