“How wide is God’s Love? Wide enough for the whole world. Are you included in the world? Then you are included in God’s love. It’s nice to be included. You aren’t always. Universities…businesses…and sadly, some churches exclude you if you aren’t good enough. But though they may exclude you, Christ includes you. When asked to describe the width of his love, Chris stretched one hand to the right and the other to the left and had them nailed in that position so you would know, he died loving you.”  – Max Lucado

      Our community is growing in leaps and bounds. New opportunities emerge for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ every day! We are striving to meet this growing need. Our priority is improving Worship, Education and Fellowship opportunities. 

      One new worship & fellowship experience begins with our youth. A Wednesday evening Praise & Prayer Service has started based on John Wesley’s order for evening praise and prayer. At 6:30 pm we offer contemporary hymns & songs on video, a psalm reflection, a sharing of prayers, and a focus on recognizing the Holy Spirit’s activity in our lives. Our hope is that this 30-minute Praise service will grow into a mid-week service for all ages. Stay after dinner and join in! Tell a friend who is hesitant about Sunday Church to witness a simple expression of faith! It is so exciting to watch the youth open to singing and praying together. 

      We are also excited to unveil our newly designed website. If you have not visited fmcazle.org in a while, take a moment to check it out. The fresh look and easy navigation will help you get the information you need quickly and efficiently. There is still a lot of information to be added, and we hope to keep the site fresh and up to date. Many thanks to the ChurchSpring team for helping us launch such a beautiful new church website. To God be the glory!

      We now have a First Methodist Church Phone App! The ChurchSpring church app allows church members to easily stay connected to ministry and church leaders. The church app is seamlessly integrated with our website. This app provides easy access to the latest sermons, upcoming events, and online giving. You will want to load this app to your smart phone! Search the Google App Store or Apple App Store for: My Church by ChurchSpring. 1) Load the app to your phone, 2) Enter FIRST METHODIST CHURCH of AZLE, 3) Confirm, and you are in. It is that easy! The app provides a quick and easy reference to Events, Recent Sermons, Giving, as well as a church directory of members (in development). 

      Let us celebrate together this opportunity to draw close to Christ Jesus by His Word and our worship and praise!
