First Methodist Kids

First Methodist Mansfield's goal for this year is,

To reclaim the practice of fasting in order to offer our whole selves to God, grow in holiness, and to stand with the poor.

We are inviting our entire church to set aside Wednesdays as a day to fast together through one of three ways.

• A 24-hour fast, which would be foregoing breakfast and lunch.
• A lunchtime fast, which would be foregoing lunch.
• For those who, for health reasons, cannot fast from food, consider setting something else aside as an alternative way to participate in this practice.

For our families with kids and students, our Next Gen has also created a guide to help explain the heart behind fasting, invite our kids and teens to participate in safe, age-appropriate ways, and engage them in connecting to the spiritual purpose behind this practice.

To read more about our focus on the practice of fasting and to download this guide, visit our website at fmcm.org/fasting

You can also join the church's weekly prayer focus each Wednesday by texting the word FMCM to 817-477-6498.

Join us for a joyful Easter Family Celebration followed by an Easter Egg Hunt for kids of all ages. It will be a fun morning filled with worship, activities, and plenty of eggs to find!

Want to help make the egg hunt extra special? We’re collecting donations of candy, small toys, and empty plastic Easter eggs. You can bring them to the Connecting Point before or after worship this weekend or drop them off in the Children's Atrium any time this week.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you and your family!

Several members of our Next Gen Team took CPR training seriously today - hours of learning, practice, and teamwork so we're better prepared to respond in emergencies. What a powerful day!
