NEWS
Reviveumcazle.org is live! Our new website is officially live. Go check it out, share it with your friends and on social media, and check back often as it is updated regularly with upcoming events, news, sermons, and more! Soon we will be able to livestream from more than Facebook and all will be linked to the new site. Thank you to Dr. Richard Reed for serving as the main driver and webmaster!
Calling All Photographers! As our online presence increases, we are in need of high quality photos of our church in action. We’re asking anyone with photography talent - professional and hobbyist - to take high res photos of worship services (preaching, singing, worship space, activities and worshipers), Bible studies, and mission/community activities. Then share them to Pastor Katie (katiemeek@reviveumcazle.org) via shared folders or thumb drive for public use. If you already have quality photos of Revive, please share them with Katie as well.
New Worship Leader: We are thrilled to welcome Ella Castro as our new worship leader. Ella is a PhD Candidate at the University of North Texas in Orchestra Conducting and brings a wealth of experience and gifts to our church. She begins officially this Sunday.
An Evening with Andrew Greer: Andrew Greer is an author, singer/songwriter, director, and Azle native. A concert and book release event, More Than a President: Sundays with Jimmy Carter will be held Saturday, September 20th, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Azle Christian Church, Fellowship Hall, 117 Church Street, Azle.
Celebration of Life for Pamela A. Price: Sunday, September 21st, 2025, 2:00-4:00 p.m., National Hall, 3316 Roberts Cutoff Road, Lake Worth.
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”.
Service Opportunity at Cross Timbers: Cross Timbers has requested some admin help for teachers. In past years, volunteers have made copies for teachers to free them up for other work. If you’d like to give an hour or two of your time to help our teachers, email Katiemeek@reviveumcazle.org.
Ongoing Activities
Bible Studies: Join us at Azle Christian Church for Wednesday Bible Studies and Children/Youth Activities. Morning Adults meet at 10:00 a.m and discuss the scripture for the upcoming Sunday morning sermon. On Wednesday evenings, a light dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. with studies at 6:00 p.m. The Adults continue on their study of Genesis. Kelsi has activities planned for Children/Youth.
Crafting Ministries meets every third Tuesday at Jill DeMoss’s house (2033 Spinnaker Ln, Azle).
Community Caring Center Needs: Mac ‘n cheese, canned tuna, instant mashed potatoes, rice, beans, and ramen are needed. Every first Sunday of the month is “Plastic Bag Day.” Thank you for your continued generosity and support!
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 $30,729.00 (08/31/25). See Dana Hollingsworth for more info.
