What a powerful Easter morning!!! More than 1,300 people joined us at Kerrville First United Methodist Church and Light on the Hill on Sunday morning to join together to celebrate our Risen Lord! Every morning is Easter morning from now on! There is a song that says, “I’m just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, there’s a somebody, who can save anybody.” And that name is JESUS. May we go out as the Easter People that we are and share the hope of Christ with everyone we meet! Kerrville and Ingram will be in the path of complete totality for the 2024 Solar Eclipse and are predicted to have prime totality times, Kerrville with 4 minutes and 24 seconds, and Ingram with 4 minutes and 26 seconds. Go to the city of Kerrville’s website to learn more. KFUMC and Light on the Hill love our community!
In support of the first responders, who will be working diligently to keep everyone safe in our community, Light on the Hill will be providing free meals to 200 first responders, three times a day, on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Thank you to all of the volunteers helping us, and thank you to Sysco for their Nourishing Neighbor’s Grant, which is helping us purchase food for this outreach initiative. We will also be hosting first responders and visitors from NASA at Light on the Hill from Thursday through Tuesday. Plus, the KFUMC gym and assembly room will serve as an additional command center for first responders. Please join us in praying for a safe event in our community! We had a great workday with our Young Adult Ministry (YAM) at Habitat for Humanity! Thank you to everyone who served! Great day with Illuminate Women’s Conference!
Do you remember that song, “I’ve got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, where? Down in my heart, where? Down in my heart to stay!” I used to sing that song with my kids when they were young, and then when they got older, if they were in a bad mood, I would sing it just to aggravate them. But in all seriousness, if we have Jesus, we have everything we need to have joy. Sometimes, when we are going through a difficult time, we need to be reminded of this. I pray joy over each of us today! Thank you to all of our amazing unpaid servants who blessed our community with wonderful food on Monday at the Mega Food Pantry! You brought joy to many! Thank you to all of our new unpaid servants who served at Mobile Mustard Seed on Tuesday! Methodist Healthcare Ministries Leadership Meeting!Mark your calendars for the Palm Sunday Celebration!

Mustard Seed Ministries Mustard Seed Ministries at Light on the Hill is about neighbors helping neighbors. At Light on the Hill, we pray that loving others and sharing Jesus and the hope that He brings to life, would be such a natural part of who we are and how we live that we don’t call it ‘outreach’ or ‘mission’ but simply ‘living’ in community. We desire to have long-term relationships with our neighbors so that we can truly call each other ‘friend.’
