All Saints & Daylight Savings THIS SUNDAY: This Sunday we will remember those who died in the last year with a special moment of remembrance and communion.  It will be a holy and special service.  Please remember that this Sunday is daylight savings Sunday and we will “fall back” an hour early Sunday morning.

Thankful Thursdays @ Azle Christian - Nov 6, 13, 19 at 11:30 am: Azle Christian will hold a Thursday devotional service followed by free lunch.  The services are led by a guest preacher and their ukulele group.  Rev. Katie Meek will preach the Nov. 6 service.  Rev. Delbra Calton and Rev. Mike Love will preach the following two weeks consecutively.  Come and offer thanks.

Church Wide Community Scavenger Hunt Nov 16 at 3 pm:  Let’s have fun!!! In honor of all we have been learning about the Holy Spirit and relating it to a wild goose, we will be having a scavenger hunt using the goose chase app.  We will begin with the scavenger hunt and end with a whole group fellowship while sharing a light meal. This is a multigenerational event. Don’t miss out on the fun. Stay tuned for more details coming in the future.

Youth Friendsgiving Nov 22 6-8pm:  Celebrate friendship and take part in the thankfulness of the season by joining us for a Friendsgiving Dinner @ Kelsi’s house (100 Coral View Ct. Azle, TX). There will be food, games, and fellowship for any youth-aged disciples (all ages invited!). Bring a side dish or dessert to share, and invite a friend to join in on the fun! RSVP with Kelsi.

Stop, Drop, and Pray - Thursdays at 10 am: Every week, Revive takes a few minutes to stop, drop, and pray! This is a 10 minute or less zoom call where a single leader leads us in a time of prayer over our community, our church and our world.  Just drop in when you can so that we can be in consistent prayer for guidance and blessing from the Holy Spirit. Get the zoom link by signing up here: https://reviveunitedmethodistchurch.breezechms.com/form/efb7a3 

Review Our Church!  Our new Google Business Listing is live.  You can help invite others to our church by writing a five-star review and telling what you love about Revive.  This will help people to know who we are and add some energy to our online presence.  It’s another way to get the word out about our wonderful church.  Just google “Revive UMC Azle” or find it at this link: https://share.google/Z94c7fiHzVv9VBJ4b.

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 $31,434.00 (10/31//25). See Dana Hollingsworth for more info. 

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.  To get the playlist, just search for “Revive UMC Azle 2025” on Spotify or Amazon.
