Robert Stovall, Director of Music & Worship Arts, gives a quick preview of the music offering for this Sunday.
Advent is the preparation for the glorious news that God comes to us — to the world — in the flesh. God truly is with us. On that “silent night,” with its angel proclamations, peasant adoration, and humble beginnings, Emmanuel (meaning “God with us”) is born into this world to usher in a new way of seeing and being that encompasses hope and love and joy and peace. Advent invites us to hold our breath and listen into the silence; to inhale and catch a whiff of some fragrance that enlivens both memory and hope. Advent calls us into to something quite extraordinary.
This year, it just so happens that Christmas Eve is the 200th anniversary of the debut of the beloved carol, “Silent Night.” In observance of this special occasion, FUMCFW will be using the lyrics to this beautiful carol as the basis of our theme throughout the Advent season. As this worship series celebrates the “Silent Night” message during the season of Advent, we invite you to listen for its call as a guide for your life — all year long.
The new Paramount series, The Landman, is filming at the Historic 512! So to help out Jonathan Ham and Demi Moore (and their set crew), we’re doing eleven:eleven at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden Auditorium!

Serving directly increases our faith and allows us to experience God’s power firsthand.
This year, I admit, I didn’t give anything up and didn’t take on a specific spiritual discipline, but I did come away with one thing: a feeling of deep gratitude.
The long lead up to, and the whole day’s events, (especially the halftime show!) is a fast-paced, three-ring-circus extravaganza. Now I like circuses, and watched most of the event last week, including the commercials. On one level, and for so many, it is the epitome of excitement and celebration of “winning” in our culture.
