They always say that time flies when you’re having fun. It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been blessed with 10 years of Brady as our pastor here at FMC Midlothian. We come to church for the message not the messenger. That being said, it has been wonderful hearing and seeing the Lord work through our Pastor and friend. Please come and join us for food, fellowship, and celebration on November 8th in the FLC from 5PM - 7PM!


On a personal note, Marie and I wish to thank you all the love prayers and support these last few weeks. God is good, see you on the 8th!

Our beloved Pastor Brady has been leading our church for A WHOLE DECADE! We want to honor him and all he has done on November 8th from 5PM to 7PM. If you would like to make a donation to the event, put "Brady Celebration" into the memo. After all expenses are paid, any extra money will be given to Pastor Brady!

Let us come together to joyfully prepare our church campus for the season of Advent! We will decorate the Sanctuary and Family Life Center on Sunday, November 22 after the 11 AM services. Pizza will be provided in the Family Life Center for all who help. Click here to register to help!

I know it's hard to believe, but it is almost time for Advent! Join us at Discover Advent Family Service as we prepare our families to enter into the mystery of Advent. Families of all ages and sizes are invited to create their own Advent wreaths, share a meal together, and prepare our hearts for Advent through music, prayer, and reflection. It’s a joyful, hands-on way for everyone to slow down, celebrate God’s promises, and experience the wonder of the season together as a family. Click here to register your family today!

Be a Source of Support and Hope: Sexual Assault Advocates Needed

The Heights is seeking compassionate volunteers to serve as Sexual Assault Advocates with the Ellis County Sexual Assault Response Team. Advocates support survivors of sexual violence during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, offering a caring presence when it matters most.

This opportunity is open to women ages 21 and older who are passionate about helping survivors. Volunteers must pass a background check, complete the required training, and be prepared to serve with dedication, professionalism, and emotional readiness.

The next virtual training begins November 3. An application and interview must be completed before training begins, so we encourage anyone interested to reach out promptly.

Completed applications and questions may be emailed to Elizabeth Rogers at elizabeth.rogers@elliscountytx.gov. You may also connect with Linda Berrey as your church contact.
