   So grateful to Troy and Tina Box for donating their carport at Light on the Hill and for our Volunteers In Mission Team Members, Brad, Ray, Rusty and Sangrid for building sides and doors to the carport! This will give us a storage shed for storing our KFUMC Disaster Trailer along with tools, ladders and other supplies. If you would like more information about disaster response, please contact Beth at beth.palmer@kfumc.org
Do you like people? Do you have the gift of hospitality?
We need help with special events and retreats throughout the year. You would be doing things like serving food or washing dishes. It's a lot of fun and a great way to share the love of Christ! Do you love to cook or bake? We have a wonderful team of unpaid servants that would love for you to join them. We have a great time together as we serve!
FROM JANE DAVIS I am praying for you this morning… The words keep playing in my head… “Because He LIVES, I can face tomorrow…” Easter came…there were early morning praise services…our churches were packed…we said, “Christ is risen!”… the tomb is empty. And then, many just put the Easter experience back on the shelf, until next year. But HE LIVES! He lives within YOU! Within ME. Nothing “shelf-worthy” about this earth-shaking experience. It changed everything. It changed me…He changed me. And, because He LIVES, we can face tomorrow… And tomorrow… And tomorrow. “God sent His son… They called Him Jesus. He came to love, heal and forgive. He bled and died, to buy my pardon… The empty tomb is there to prove my Savior lives. And because He lives… I can face tomorrow… Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, He holds the future… And life is worth the living… Just because He lives.” -Gloria Gaither Happy Easter…again and again.   During the month of May, (1, 8, 15 and 22), join our Recreation Minister: Grant Palmer for Adult Hiking on the trails at Light on the Hill!!
They will begin at 6 pm, meeting at the porch (at the back of LOTH near the pool). Make sure you bring your water! 
We are not looking for a shallow joy but rather a joy that comes from faith. This joy grows through unselfish love and respects the fundamental duty of love of neighbor. Alleluia!
As Easter People, we thank God for all that is past, but look forward to all that is to come! He is risen! He is risen, indeed!  I am praying for you this morning…
Awhile back I was given my Dad’s old baseball glove. As I study it, I first notice how worn it is…lots of baseballs went “thud” in that glove. And then as I look again, I notice that there are only 4 fingers on this glove! Huh? Daddy had 5 fingers. Why 4 on this weathered old mitt? Do you ever feel like something is missing in your life? Is it strength? Confidence? Courage? Endurance? Assurance? Love? Hope? Peace? Joy? Back to the aged, 4-finger glove… Possibly, since our “baby finger” is the weakest part of our hand, having 2 fingers together gives added strength and support to grip the ball. Hmmmm. This is like one person helping another…walking the journey with them. Like God walking with us, giving us strength and support for our upward climbs. Like helping us grip the hard balls in life when they go “thud”. “Two people are better than one, for they can help each other succeed.” Ecclesiastes 4:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you may go.” Joshua 1:9 -Beth Palmer  Community Health Worker, Lori Payne, Project Manager, Millie Goode, and Community Health Worker, Emily Morales. Light on the Hill is excited to announce that we have received the Methodist Healthcare Ministries Community Impact Grant for 2023! This grant will allow us to expand our outreach efforts to our community by funding support staffing and program expenses for ongoing food relief and community connections to help people with their physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual needs. This funding will provide for a project manager to oversee the initiative and allows us to hire two part-time community health workers to be the boots on the ground serving our community. Millie Goode will serve as the project manager and Emily Morales and Lori Payne will serve as our community health workers. We are so grateful and excited for all who will benefit from this amazing expansion to our efforts to serve our neighbor! Thank you MHM!!!  Kerrville First United Methodist Church’s Food4Kids program provides food on the weekends for children experiencing food insecurity from our neighboring school, Nimitz Elementary. Other churches in our community have also adopted local schools in our county to be a blessing! KFUMC is currently helping almost 60 students and their families who do not have enough nutritious food to sustain them throughout the weekends. Many families depend on breakfast and lunch for their children at school and when school is not in session, like on weekends, it provides a hardship for the family. Our awesome unpaid servants help with the shopping, packing, delivering and distributing of the food to make this program possible. Food4Kids is a food relief ministry connected with our Mustard Seed Pantry. Thank you for supporting Food4Kids!  Thank you to Bryant Williams for his generous gift of a golf cart to our outreach ministry! This will help with providing accessibility for our neighbors with mobility challenges to all of our outreach ministries.   |
