This week’s scripture is… well… a little bit creepy. In a way it’s something akin to a horror movie. I look forward to exploring this story of transformation — and the people’s reaction — this Sunday in our Sanctuary worship.
Most people know something about Jonah and the big fish — a whale, as the common interpretation goes — that swallowed him. Just about everyone knows that story, right?
This Sunday, February 21st, is the first Sunday in the season of Lent. Our worship theme this season is Darkest Before the Dawn. Within every moment of deep darkness lies the certainty that the dawn is coming.
This Sunday is the last Sunday before we enter the season of Lent. It is known as Transfiguration Sunday — the Sunday in which we remember the experience of Jesus and three of his disciples on a mountaintop in Galilee.
I’ll talk Sunday a bit about the dilemma faced by Christians in the early church, but the point Paul is making is applicable to us today.
It occurs to me that following means leaving. One cannot follow anyone or anything and stay put. So, if following Jesus means leaving, what does Jesus call us to leave?
We’ll begin a new series on Sunday focusing on learning as an important part of our followership. We are students no matter what our age or our situation in life.
Around the turn of a new year, we are most aware of this sense of living in the between time, this sense of past and future.
The good news is that light has penetrated the darkness and the light that penetrates darkness is the light of love.
An inspiring service of worship in the traditional style with special enhancements designed to engage people of all ages. This service features the traditional elements of worship, including sermon, hymns, liturgy, and monthly Communion. Worship music includes various choirs, orchestra, and instrumental ensembles for special music. This service takes place within the beauty of our Sanctuary and utilizes the stunning music of our 160-rank pipe organ.
Children (Kindergarten and up) are provided with special bulletins. Added features such as the “Faith Like a Child” time (children’s sermon) and sidebar commentary to our younger worshippers are included to further enhance meaning for all ages.

We love laughter and no-holds-barred messages that question the answers and unmask the illusions as we search for the next chapter together. This is 55 minutes of authentic storytelling, great coffee, and meaningful conversation — with the music of Brad Thompson (Fort Worth Star Telegram’s “Best Local Musician”) and the Revolution Band doing some of your favorite pop, classic rock, and acoustic songs.
We’re passionately inclusive here at eleven:eleven, whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or straight, conservative or liberal, Christian or agnostic, young or old — or anywhere in between and beyond. We’re casual, “come as you wish,” non–traditional, and always curious about kindness, justice, our stories, Jesus’ life — and how to do our lives better.
Here’s your invitation to reconnect your spirit without disconnecting your mind. We believe in the universal love of God and your next adventure. Join this growing community and become part of our story — and let’s see where it takes us! #1111FUMCFW
