CHURCH-WIDE EVENTS
Our goal here at First Methodist Mansfield is to help everybody take the next step in their faith journey. For many, their next steps are to join the church and plug into serving at the church and in our community through several ministry opportunities we offer.
Confirmation Sunday
May 5th • 3:00 pm • Sanctuary
This Sunday is a big day in the lives of our 31 Confirmands. All are invited to attend our Confirmation Service this Sunday as our Confirmands take this big step in their faith journey and become full members of First Methodist Mansfield. Below are the names of our Confirmands. You are welcome to be in prayer for all of them by name, and you are also invited to write them a little note if you so choose. If you would like to write our Confirmands a note, please bring them by our church office at 951 N. Walnut Creek Dr. between the hours of 9 am and 3 pm or you are welcome to drop them by our Connecting Point this weekend before or after worship and we will make sure our Confirmands get them.
