University United Methodist Church

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.

A note from Haley about why kids matter at University, the Litter Stomp this Saturday, something about puking pumpkins for student ministries (lol wut?), and an intriguing meeting this Sunday after Community as we plan Christmas cheer for our neighbors served by the Presby Night Shelter.

And probably some super banging Korean food.

Did you know Spotify is rumored to have contacts to pay podcaster Joe Rogan $250 million for his.... "It's just a question"-y content?

Yeah. We're out.

And it's long overdue. Now to find a music service that's less... 👉🏻 THAT

And which maybe pays out artists more fairly.

No. It certainly isn't Christian.

If you're in the West DFW area and you're not up to speed on the good work being done through the Shelter, go look them up and see how you can join in. We love being a part of it! 🏠

Some University UMC folks went over to the Presbyterian Night Shelter's supportive housing units last week and unpacked 8 units for their new residents.... in the expected time to only get 5 done.

What a neat way to support homeless neighbors and help get them into safe, comfortable homes.

Do you need some face time with real human beings over some quality home-cooked or restaurant bought Tex Mex?

The answer is yes.

Join us for Tex Mex Monday tonight at 6pm in Community Hall. If you're in Fort Worth, you're invited.

It's communion Sunday for us tomorrow. Heritage at 10am in the sanctuary.
Community at 11am in Community Hall.

We're all equal in God's eyes... All in need of grace at the Lord's table.
