Last night was a holy and joyful moment as we celebrated the ordination of Rev. Karyl Patredis in Full Connection in The United Methodist Church.

The Bishop said last night that Ordination is never the result of a single moment. It is the culmination of years of discernment, study, sacrifice, prayer, perseverance, and faithful response to God’s call. Through every challenge and every step along the way, Karyl has continued to say “yes” to where God was leading.

Those of us at Grace Avenue have been blessed by her leadership, compassion, wisdom, and commitment to sharing God’s love with others. Please join us in congratulating Rev. Karyl Patredis on her ordination and in praying for her continued ministry as she serves Christ and the Church.

Congratulations, Karyl! We are thankful for you and excited for all that God will continue to do through your life and ministry!!!!

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!🎉 We are celebrating Rev. Kim Eiffert and Rev. Karyl Patredis as they become ordained Elders in full connection in the United Methodist Church. This is the culmination of years of preparation, study, residency, and pastoral ministry. We know you will want to show your support and celebrate them as you're able.

The ceremony will take place at the Ordination & Commissioning Service at this year's Horizon Texas Annual Conference in Wichita Falls. This service will take place at 7:00pm tonight, June 2, in the Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall at the Wichita Falls Multi-Purpose Event Center (1000 5th Street).

If you are unable to be at the service in person, you can watch the livestream on the Horizon Texas Conference Youtube page at this link: https://www.youtube.com/live/BkP_ot8Lzg8?si=NFXsHEms2PdusvJ4

Congratulations to Pastors Kim & Karyl! We are so proud of you and grateful for your ministry and leadership in our churches.

As we head into a new year, I’m always looking for a way to begin January with a little more intention. Something that helps center my heart, refocus my faith, and remind me of what really matters. This new devotional guide, Let Blessings Flow, feels like exactly that kind of invitation.

It’s a 31-day journey through Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, exploring how God’s blessings are never meant to stop with us, but to move through us into the world. Simple daily readings, thoughtful reflections, and two grounding questions each day.

If you’re looking for a fresh rhythm for January, I’d really encourage you to sign up. Print and email options are available. Let’s step into the new year together, and let blessings flow.

In preparation for the new year, we have created a devotional to guide us through January and start our year off strong together!

Let Blessings Flow: Living a Life of Doxology is a 31-day devotional guide that traces the arc of Scripture through the lens of God’s abundant blessing. The devotional will be available both in print and by email. Please sign up for the version you would like to receive at https://graceavenue.wufoo.com/forms/z564g5g09eqr7v/
