Revive UMC Azle Announcements
Sunday’s Service is Traditional - March 1st - Since our normal 5th Sunday hymn sing is Palm Sunday this month, we will be having a traditional communion service for our Sunday service this coming Sunday. If you love traditional-style worship, make sure you don’t miss this Sunday!
Mom’s Night Out – March 7 Revive UMC is excited to host a Mom’s Night Out on March 7—an evening designed to bless and encourage the moms in our community with rest, connection, and fun. If you would like to help with this event, please contact our Children’s Ministry Director, Rita Parker, at ritaparker@reviveumcazle.org. Spread the word and tell your mom friends!
Join our Easter Choir - Revive will be forming a choir to sing special music for Easter Sunday. Practice times will be held weekly at a time and location to be determined. If you’re interested in joining the choir, contact Margaret Bolding (mabolding@gmail.com, 817-946-2168).
Children’s Service/Mission Project - This semester, Revive UMC Children’s Ministry is leading a service project to support the Child Reintegration Centre (CRC) in Sierra Leone. CRC helps rehome children orphaned due to war and other regional crises and works to ensure every child grows up in a safe, loving family. Spare change will be collected each Sunday and Wednesday. So far, we’ve collected $373.19.
Learn Our New Song - We introduced a new song in worship recently and we have another new song being introduced in a few weeks! Check out the following YouTube videos to get more familiar with our worship songs before you show up to worship! Here’s the link for Ask Me Why (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVrVlmsYvPk) and the link for Firm Foundation ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9ndiD0_qNk).
Youth Mission Trip 2026 - Kelsi will be taking our youth group to our first mission trip in 2026 with UMArmy! The dates will be May 31-June 6 and will be hosted by our friends over at Couts Memorial UMC in Weatherford! Plenty of adult volunteers will be needed, as well as youth grades 7-12 willing to give back to our communities! Registration ends April 15, so please be in prayerful consideration if you’d like to join in on the fun! Cost will be $275 per person, so be on the lookout for upcoming fundraisers!
Sermon Series
Lent was originally a season for new converts to learn and prepare for their baptism on Easter. During that time, they would study what was central to Christianity - a message of good news for the whole world. At the heart of Jesus’ teachings, we find liberation, love, mercy, and grace—all of which are meant to be very good news for us all. This Lent, let us remember that the good news really is good news. It is joyful—like fine wine saved for celebration. It grows like a mustard seed and smells like perfume poured from an alabaster jar. It tastes like bread passed endlessly through a hungry crowd. It sounds like laughter and feels like mercy. The good news is alive in the world.
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 Children’s Programming starts at 6:00 p.m.
Stop, Drop, and Pray - Thursdays at 10:00 a.m.: 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.
Crafting Ministries meets every third Tuesday at Jill DeMoss’s house (2033 Spinnaker Ln, Azle) at 1:00 p/m. No special talents necessary!
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 $32,246 (as of 02/27/26). See Dana Hollingsworth for more info.
