Trinity-First United Methodist Church

Have you found a rock?

Hey Trinity-First United Methodist Church: we will be celebrating the new general conference resolutions tomorrow at the Pride Parade!

We will be setting up a table at Houston Park just to love all of God’s children, exactly as they are! We will be handing out water, Gatorade and love! No donations will be accepted. We’re just going to love!

If you are so moved, please join us! Lots of Mom and Dad hugs needed! Everyone, of course, is welcome!

At Annual Conference ordination service... remembering my ordination.

TFUMC kindergarten graduation

Our special thanks to local restaurant, Taconeta, for providing lunch for Triumph High School students.

Join our Children’s Ministry class every Sunday at 10:30AM. We have something special planned for Palm Sunday. We hope you’ll join us!

Today in Sprouts we talked about what it means to walk like Jesus and love like Jesus. We also read the parable of The Good Samaritan and discussed loving your neighbor as you love yourself.

Jesus tells us that a good neighbor might live in our community, or in a different country. They may speak a different language, and look different than we do.

Children looked through magazines and cut out pictures of what they thought a good neighbor might look like.

“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.”

Psalm 78:4

Our Sprouts classroom has moved to room 201 in Resler Hall. We hope you’ll stop by and visit us Sunday mornings from 10:30 - 11:30am. If you have any questions about our program, e mail Belinda Saylor at [email protected]

Bishop Will Willimon teaching this morning.

Ash Wednesday and Valentines Day at T-FUMC.

"We are dust and to dust we shall return." This is a statement of truth, not confession. We are called to repent and believe the gospel so that we can live in the truth of our beautiful frailty and dependence on God as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. Join us the first Sunday of Lent at 10:30 AM and hear Bishop Will Willimon preach.

At noon, T-FUMC will hold a short Service of Ashes in the sanctuary, after which the pastor and congregation will pilgrimage to San Jacinto Plaza to administer ashes to any there who may want to receive. We hope you'll join us.

During the next few weeks, Sprouts will go on a journey seeing JESUS’ LOVE in Bible stories and in their daily lives. Sprouts parents, it’s your challenge to to help your child experience the love of Jesus. Drop by and pick up your child’s’ gift and packet in the church office before Feb. 14th

Join us for our upcoming Messy Church! The theme for February will be "Messy Love". Where we will learn about ways to show God's love. There will be a healthy meal provided, as well as a game, craft and message to follow the theme. This will be a Messy Church that you and your family/friends don't want to miss! Text Christy at 732-614-0281 to reserve your spot or scan the barcode to register. We would LOVE to see you there!

The Pastor will begin a Lenten study starting on February 15th. Make sure you secure a book for the study. We have placed an order and will have them available in the front office soon.

Welcome to Messy Church at T-FUMC, January 17, 2024. Setting our priorities and making journals. Join us next month for Fellowship, fun and dinner!

A message from the Bishop:

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It’s time for us to lean into the future and discern what God is calling us to in the next season of our life together in Christ as the New Mexico Conference.

To this end, I will be hosting two gatherings in the New Mexico Conference:
• Thursday, February 8th at 6:00 pm MT at Central UMC-ABQ
• Saturday, February 10th at 10:00 am MT at Western Hills UMC-El Paso

During our time, we will share in worship. I will address some of the resolutions and topics that are likely to come before General Conference 2024 in April and decisions to be made at Jurisdictional Conference in July. I look forward to sharing information and hearing the questions that you may have. We'll distribute notecards prior to the presentation to gather and compile questions.

If you have any questions about these events, please contact my Administrative Assistant, Alli Newsom at [email protected].

Let’s enter this next season with joy, anticipation, and a commitment to pray and work together as we discern God’s will for us in the months and years to come. I look forward to these important gatherings and I hope to see you there. Thank you.

Yours in Christ,
Robert Schnase
Bishop of the New Mexico Conference
