  We are an Easter People..."We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song" is a famous quote from St. Pope John Paul II. It encourages Christians to live with joy and hope rather than despair, emphasizing that faith in the resurrection enables a life of love, even amidst suffering.  Who Will You Invite To Worship With You On Easter Sunday? He is not here! He is risen, indeed! We are Easter people. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the basis of the gospel. We believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day. This is the foundation of our faith and if we want nonbelievers to hear the gospel, Easter is a great Sunday to invite them! Invite your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors join us this Easter Sunday. We would be honored to have the privilege of sharing with everyone the promise of the hope in Christ and His resurrection! Easter Worship Sunrise Service 7:00am Location: The Bolivian Cross at Light on the Hill at mount Wesley (610 Methodist Encampment.) *Shuttle bus will begin running at 6:15am at the Light on the Hill parking lot to take people up to the cross. The last shuttle will run at 6:45am. You are welcome to walk up to the cross, but please do not drive your vehicles up to the cross. Traditional Worship 8:15 & 10:45am Location: Kerrville First United Methodist Church Sanctuary (321 Thompson Dr.) Contemporary Worship 9:30am Location: Kerrville First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall (321 Thompson Dr.)

November Activities

The world is watching. The way Christians talk about their church has great impact, and the way we speak of other local congregations, pastors and the church around the world speaks volumes. Is the body of Jesus Christ united in love and mission, or are we divided? How does the world see us? Are we living as examples of grace, love, and unity? Here are some ways to be a witness in how we think about, speak of and interact with other faith communities. My prayer is that we step into some of these practices and become a witness in our community of what the family of God is supposed to look like.
Speak well of other churches and pastors and pray for them.
Every chance we have, speak words of blessing and affirmation over faith communities in our area. These are family members. Share words of blessing. Be kind. Pray for our faith communities and their leaders.
Partner with other churches.
Sometimes churches feel the need to do everything on their own, even when another church in the area is doing the same thing wonderfully. But we want to join together and let our community see churches that partner and work together. We are blessed to work with other faith communities with food relief efforts and through Habitat for Humanity, to just mention a few of the ways we partner.
The world is watching. Let’s give witness to our unity. We are the family of God. Let’s shine the light of Jesus through our example. Rejoice where God is working. Celebrate where the kingdom of God is expanding. Let the world see that we are united, partners, family and one.

But Jesus said in John 13:35 that people will know that we are his disciples by our love for one another. So, as Christians we are to act differently than the world. To start, we are to be kind.
Here is something I just read on Christian author and pastor Greg Laurie’s blog about being kind… Every now and then, cell phone videos showing someone on a rant pop up on social media or the news. The people in those videos are really upset about something, and they’re screaming and yelling. Don’t be like those people. Ever.
You are a child of God, so be known for your generosity. Be known for your love and compassion, not for your anger. The Bible tells us, “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them” (Ephesians 4:29 NLT).
If you disagree with someone, that’s fine. But don’t be obnoxious; be nice. I’ve found that the greatest joys in life come from a relationship with God and from relationships with others. Also, some of the simplest joys in life are before us every day. Savor the sunset. Enjoy the meal. Linger with your family and friends. Have fun.
All too often, we’re thinking about what’s coming next: “When this comes, I will be so happy. When that happens, it will be so great.” But what about the present moment? Don’t be in such a rush to get to the next thing.
I sometimes find myself in a group where everyone is on their cell phone. In such situations, I send everyone a text that says something like this: “Be here now. Let’s put these phones away. Let’s have a conversation with each other.”
When you sit down for a meal, don’t take your cell phone to the table. If you’re wearing a watch that sends you alerts, take it off. Have a conversation with the people around you.
As followers of Jesus Christ, let’s be known as encouragers, not discouragers. Let’s be known as people who build others up, not as people who tear others down.
