Bring your backpack to worship!

by First Methodist Mansfield

Kick off the fall with us.

Wear your favorite sports jersey, and join us for our worship as we celebrate our Fall Kick-Off during all 4 of our worship services on August 16th and 17th. Whether you have been coming to First Methodist Mansfield for a long time or have never stepped through our doors, know that we have a place for you and your family. Besides experiencing worship together, we will also have a ministry fall preview in our atrium, photo opportunities around campus, new merchandise in our FMCM Market, campus tours, giveaways, and so much more. Invite a friend or two to join you in all of the excitement as we KICK-OFF fall together.  

 
 

 

Bring your backpack to worship!

We want to celebrate the beginning of the school year with a backpack blessing in all 4 of our worship services! All children and students (and their backpacks) are invited to join us in worship on August 9th and 10th as we spend a moment praying for them. Once we are done, they are invited to remain in worship or head to our Kids and Student areas as they transition into their new grade levels and classrooms for Promotion Weekend happening this same weekend!

Pray with us.

We will be hosting three different prayer opportunities in the month of August and all are invited!

• Back to School Prayer: Join us for a time of coffee & pastries, prayer, and maybe even a few tears as the new school year begins on Wednesday, August 13th! At 9:15am, we will gather as a large group in The Lounge (the space outside of The Loft in Building A), where we will pray for a successful and safe school year for all students, staff, and parents. All are welcome to join, so bring your friends and family who are available and would like to be part of this special morning. This is a great opportunity to meet other parents from our community, as well as some of our staff, so we hope to see you there!

 Come and Go Prayer: Are you looking for a quiet place to pray and start off your day? Join us in the chapel for a peaceful time of come-and-go prayer each Wednesday morning from 7:30 – 9:45, starting August 20th. A member of our prayer team will be available to pray with you if you would like, but you are invited to pray by yourself any way you are comfortable. Stop by before work, after school drop off, or before you grab your coffee and join us in prayer.

 Labyrinth Prayer Walk: Walk with us! There will be a labyrinth set up in our church atrium on August 23rd from 9am – 4pm (come and go as you please). This interactive experience provides a way for you to focus your mind on prayer.
