First United Methodist Church of Kermit- TX

06/18/2026

🎵 "Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
till all the world adore his sacred name."

"Lift high the cross" (number 159 in The United Methodist Hymnal) is one of the great processional hymns. During this season, it is often sung at annual conference services--uplifting the gatherings with the song's triumphal tune.

Lyrically, it inspires the church to meet the world with reassurances that God's grace and love are already present. Our job is to follow that love into the world.

💭 Where do you see God's love leading you this week?

Some Methodist history and traditions

The United Methodist Church's unique system of deploying clergy has its roots in the earliest days of Methodism.

Something to especially ponder in the post-Covid era, when many churches began streaming because we were told that being around other believers was not “essential.”

Being around other believers IS essential!

“I will not leave you as orphans” -John 14:18

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” -John 15:12

Join us this evening at 8pm at FUMC Wink for a solemn Tenebrae service, where we remember the Passion of the Christ in Scripture and song; gradually (and temporarily!) allowing darkness to overcome the light.

In many ways, Tenebrae inverts or unwinds the hope we celebrate on Christmas Eve: the Light, once miraculously brought into the world, is slowly extinguished.

Tonight, Jesus offers himself for you - he welcomes ALL to the cross. All are welcome!

Join us TONIGHT (in Kermit) as we remember our Lord Jesus and the institution of communion with his disciples in the Upper Room. All are welcome at the Lord’s table!

“After that, Jesus poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him” (John 13:5)
