Multiplication Masterclass Webinar Bridge Events - January 11, 2026, virtual: Help us grow Revive in 2026 by making new connections with our neighbors! Author Ken Willard defines a bridge event as “a local church intentionally hosting events as a way to cross the bridge from their church building into the mission field around them in order to invite people to come and engage with their ministry.” Ken will talk about some basics of a bridge event and walk through how to plan one for your community. https://htcumc.jotform.com/253244158815156
Winter Camp 2026 - February 20-22: 6th-12th graders, save the date for Winter Camp 2026 at Glen Lake Camp! It will be a great weekend of prayer, worship, fun, and friendship for our group! Adult Volunteers Needed!!! I will need two female and two male adult volunteers to chaperone for the weekend and drive! Please be in prayerful consideration if you’d like to serve with our wonderful youth this weekend.
Youth Hobby Sale Fundraiser - January 11: The youth are planning a fundraiser to raise money to cover registration fees for Winter Camp 2026 ($175 per camper). They will be creating and selling crafts, art, jewelry, baked goods, and host a silent auction after Sunday worship. Bring your cash to support our youth! Youth, start creating and let Kelsi know what you plan on selling and whether it will be for regular sale or the silent auction! If you plan on going to Winter Camp, you MUST participate in the fundraiser!
Ongoing Activities
Wednesday Morning Bible Study: Adults meet to discuss the scripture for the upcoming Sunday morning sermon. Pastor Katie leads this lively and fun discussion. Azle Christian Church, 10:00 - 11:00 a.m.
Revive Community Night: Every Wednesday evening we meet at Azle Christian Church for dinner and activities for all ages! A light dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. Adult Bible Study, Youth Group, and Kids programming starts at 6 pm.
Crafting Ministries meets every third Tuesday at Jill DeMoss’s house (2033 Spinnaker Ln, Azle) at 1:00 pm.
Community Caring Center Needs: **Updated list** - Canned tuna and canned chicken are needed in addition to our regular list of mac ‘n cheese, instant mashed potatoes, canned soups, and peanut butter. 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 each week and place any offerings in the bowl beneath it. Our Building Seed has grown to $31,614.00 (11/30/25). See Dana Hollingsworth for more info.
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.
