Hi. How are you doing today?

YouTube video by Horizon Texas Conference of the UMC Wiggle Church | Worship Designed for Families

On Thursday nights, families with young children are invited to Wiggle Church. It's dinner, play, songs, and a Bible story, all with the hope of introducing kids to a life of faith in Jesus.
Here's a feature from our conference (kinda like the region for the denomination).

Wanna chat about anything you see in this newsletter? Or do you have other questions about University, or faith, or the latest college football news (just kidding), slide into our DMs!

Our Advent newsletter is here. University UMC has so many ways for kids and adults in Fort Worth to connect, grow, enjoy holiday music!!!, serve, and walk closer with Jesus through it all.

Enjoy this December issue!

PLUS: Rosa, Chatty, Sherry's granddaughter, Madison, herfriend, Lily, plus Cari, Julie, Jeannie, Glenn, Hunter, Rhonda, Emily , Lisa and Sophie, Martha, Bobby, and Janice, who literally seems to be doing everything around University.

We had a great season of parking this Fall, as we hosted fans for TCU home football games. It's our biggest fundraiser of the year for University UMC, and we're so thankful to all the volunteers who helped out:

The Real MVP
Sherry C, who worked ALL 6 games!

PLUS, we've got a few photos from our San Angelo flood relief trip. And there's a Friendsgiving coming up for University Student Ministries. And we've got some hints about fun stuff this Advent. Let's be friends and be social IRL! Read all about it: mailchi.mp/uumcfw/jesus...

Compared to the old way of doing things, compared to Moses and Abraham, compared to relying on someone else to be close to God on our behalf, compared to a malnourished, anemic faith, Jesus is better. And we have so much to be thankful for! Let's get on the same page with November's newsletter.

Steve Bezner (@sbezner) on Threads A few closing thoughts on SNAP:

Not that we're proponents of Big Social Media, but if one was so inclined, one could find this post here: www.threads.com/@sbezner/pos...

Yeah, so as we said earlier, this is now basically a Stan account for Steve Benzer where we'll shamelessly steal and repost what he says.
It's Thursday, so that means we're back at it. (Actually, it being Thursday has nothing to do with anything.)

As the year draws to a close, we stand at a critical crossroads.

Global instability, humanitarian crises and an erosion of support systems have put already struggling families and communities at further risk.

Good morning.

Do something bold today, Fort Worth. Our city needs the best version of you.

and not to ignore your own flesh and blood?

--Isaiah 58:6-7

As inspired by Steve Bezner on Threads (and no, we don't have a Threads account).

Isn't this the fast I choose:
To break the chains of wickedness
to untie the ropes of the yoke, to set the oppressed free,
and to tear off every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
to bring the poor and homeless into your house,
to clothe the naked when you see him...

This is literally just inches away from becoming a Steve Bezner Bible verse reposting account.

You've been warned, Fort Worth.

It'll be interesting to see what comes of this.

Fascinating.
