Revive Town Hall Meeting - Postponed: Due to new information received this week, the planned Town Hall Meeting has been postponed in order to make sure the Board is bringing the most accurate information to the congregation. Look for information soon about when it is rescheduled.
Board and Visioning Meetings: The monthly meeting of the Vision Team and Board will take place after worship on September 14th. The first hour will be a combined Vision/Board visioning meeting followed by the Board Meeting which discusses operations.
Learn Our Songs at Home: Now you can take worship home by listening to “Revive UMC Azle 2025” playlists on Spotify and Amazon. The aim of this playlist is to help us learn the contemporary songs that we sing in worship. Listen to the playlist while you’re getting ready, cooking, driving, or just to get a little more worship in. And then you’ll be excited to hear these familiar songs in Sunday worship! To get the playlist, just scan the QR codes or search for “Revive UMC Azle 2025”.
Guest Musicians: For the next several Sundays, music will be led by guest musicians. This Sunday will be led by Joseph Cisneroz who is a friend of Revive.

Seed the Capital Campaign: In order for Revive to purchase property or a building, we’ll need to have a capital campaign. In advance of that future effort, you are invited to prayerfully consider today what will fuel our future as the people called United Methodists here in this place. Your second-mile giving can help “seed” our building fund. Check out the big thermometer eachweek and place any offerings in the bowl beneath it. Our Building Seed has grown to $30,714.00 (08/31/25). See Dana Hollingsworth for more info.
