The Path to God from Kyle, Texas
How can you get to God from where you are?
At Kyle United Methodist Church, we will observe the traditional season of Lent, a time of preparation for Easter, by considering this question.
Each week, we will consider a different way that can connect to God, no matter what your spiritual life has been like in the past. If your faith life has felt a bit empty, predictable, or non-existent, this season will refocus and deepen you to make this Easter the most meaningful yet.

for video inspiration from people walking these pathways.

Easter Lillies

You will be able to take your lily home after the 11:15 Easter Service.

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!
We're encouraging you to LIGHTEN YOUR LIFE FOR LENT!
Go through those extra closets and dresser drawers and pass on what you no longer need.
On April 25th, we're doing our Annual Free Garage Sale. We have seen in the past that this is a church-wide event, and we're getting some extra help from partner agencies this year.
We're doing it a little differently this year. When you bring your items, please have clothes items sorted by gender (in a perfect world, also by size, but we know how hard that can be), and household items sorted together. We'll be receiving items for donations from
Sunday, April 19th through Thursday the 23rd
at the church. Please hang on to them until then because we simply don't have the space at church.
We've done this twice in the past, and we've heard testimonial after testimonial about how helpful it is for our community. God has moved mountains for people through this act of service, and people are already asking about this year's date. Please prayerfully consider what you're able to donate and know that it matters. People receive help they desperately need, and they see Christ moving.

Children's Sunday School- Elementary age
Last January we added bringing offering to Sunday School and this year we are adding
Memory Verses!
One of the most important things for young minds is to plant the word of God as early–and as often–as possible. Teaching the Bible to young ones, and then helping them to memorize it verse by verse, plants important spiritual seeds in their minds and hearts that will sprout into faith for years to come!
We will work on one bible verse every 3 weeks with activities and bible stories each Sunday that relate to that verse!
Please help your kids practice their verses at home!
We will be asking them to recite it at the end of the 3 weeks. We'll have fun prizes for remembering their verse!
Our verse for March:
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17

Who wants to come hang out with some awesome youth?!?
We are in need of adults to help with Youth Group. Can't help every Sunday? That's ok! Help when you're able. We have to have a minimum of 2 adults each Sunday for Safe Gatherings ratio so that gives us an opportunity to have lots of adults impact the lives of the kids in our growing youth group!
Can't help on Sundays? You can support our youth by providing meals and snacks.
If you'd like to volunteer or want more information, please contact Alissa Villarreal at childrenandyouth.kumc@gmail.com or 361-441-4206.
