Robert Stovall, Director of Music & Worship Arts, gives a quick preview of the music offering for this Sunday.
In the wake of all that is going on around us, in our world and even in our denomination, it seems especially important to use this Lenten season as a time to deeply reflect and consider who we are as a faith community.
Our 2019 Lenten Theme, This Is Us offers the opportunity for such deep reflection of what we value as a church, including diversity of worship experiences, community, growth in discipleship, compassion and generosity, and sharing God’s love with others. Each week of Lent 2019 there will be a value that we focus on together as well as an action item to actively express that value. Please join us in participating in all of these as you are able to deepen your experience of Lent and our churchwide This Is Us worship theme!
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!

Feel moved to make a gift in memory of someone you care about?
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.
