You’re invited to attend an ongoing Bible study! This spring we will continue reading through the book of Acts together.

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
January 22nd  •  6:30 – 8:00 PM  •  Chapel  
Have you ever wondered if your current season has a purpose? Do you ever feel like your present moment is so far from where you really long to be, but the answer to all your prayers is “not yet”?  Join Women’s Ministry for this six-session video Bible study as we learn how to live in the present and trust in God’s faithfulness—even while hoping for the future.
Now and Not Yet Bible Study explores six profound ways God makes His faithfulness known in the biblical stories of Abraham, Joseph, Israel, Hannah, and the Apostle Paul. As you encounter God through the pages of His Word, you’ll see His ways, His character, His purposes, and His faithfulness in the lives of His people.  And the more we understand God’s ways, the more we will discover that He’s just as faithful in our lives right now—even more than we know.

Children’s and Student’s Ministry has Wednesday night programming for 1st-12th grade.

PENIA FOOD PANTRY FOOD DRIVE
Due back THIS WEEKEND  •  Missions@fmcm.org 
Help us replenish our food pantry here at First Methodist Mansfield!  Peína is a Greek word meaning “hunger”, but can also be used to mean “fulfill” or “satisfy”. This is the goal of our food pantry located in Building D. The food we hand out is provided to us through the generosity of our congregation and consists of non-perishable food items. Please place these items in one of the Big Blue Bins around our campus. If you are interested in donating, here is a list of the items we try to keep in stock at all times: Boxed Cereal,  Peanut Butter, Jelly, Canned Fruit, Canned Vegetables,  Protein Soups, Pasta, Pasta Sauce, Rice, Canned or Dry Beans, Canned Chicken, Canned Tuna, Hamburger/Tuna Helper, and Individual Snack Items.

IDD COUNCIL MAKING CONNECTIONS RESOURCE FAIR

We are honored to serve as a host for the IDD Council’s Making Connections Disability Resource Fair on Saturday, February 1st, starting at 9 am. The purpose of this resource fair is to bring together the disability resources in our community to one easily accessed location for families and caregivers to collect information and learn about the benefits and services each provides. There will be over 140 vendors in our gym, ranging from recreational opportunities to respite and college programs. Find out more information here.  If you or somebody you know would benefit from this gathering, plan on joining us on February 1st. Because we expect hundreds of people from all over Tarrant County, we want to provide the best hospitality we can. If you are interested in serving as a greeter during this event, email us here.

LECTIO 365 
We are pausing our First 15 devotionals and encouraging everybody to download the Lectio 365 App to serve as our daily devotional time for the rest of 2025. We feel like this is the best way to fully embrace our year-long focus on prayer because of the unique format the Lectio 365 App provides. To download the app, simply search “Lectio 365” in your app store or scan the QR code below. You can also stop by our Connecting Point this weekend and a member of our staff can help download it to your device. If you are unable to use an app as a resource and would prefer to receive this devotional via email, send us an email here and we will connect with you.
