THIS SUNDAY

May 10, 2026 - Mother's Day

Rev. Adam Spore, 8:30 am Traditional Worship

& 11:15 am Modern Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, 11:00 am Traditional Worship

 

He had washed their feet. He had broken the bread. And now, in the quiet of that upper room, he was trying to prepare them for something they couldn't yet imagine — a world in which he would no longer be physically present, and they would have to find a way to carry on. His answer to their unspoken fear was a promise: that they would not be left alone. That something — someone — would come to dwell not just among them, but within them. This week, we sit with that promise and the mystery it carries - The Holy Spirit. Have you felt it? And do you know what to call it when you do? Join us Sunday as we ask these questions together.

  • Our new Senior Pastor, Adam Spore, preaches at FUMC Waxahachie for the first time this coming Sunday.  Since we are just getting started on a new journey together, we’ll examine what the Apostle Paul told the early church in Corinth as they began their journey. Paul grounded his message in the simple truth of God's grace, the power of a unified church, and the transformation we experience through Christ. Just like a butterfly starts small and grows over time, our faith is transformed little by little on strong, simple truths. Join us Sunday for the first in a series on New Creation as we take our first small steps together.


  • This Sunday, Rev. Val Stewart leads us in worship as we wait for the beginning of a new chapter with our new Senior Pastor, Rev. Adam Spore. Change can be hard, but it’s also how God helps us grow and become more like Jesus. Just like the disciples were sent to serve, each of us is also called to be part of God’s mission in this church. Pastor Adam has been chosen to lead us, but we are all ministers together, working as one church family. Celebrate with us as we follow God into a new and exciting season at FUMC Waxahachie.


  • When everything familiar is taken away—home, comfort, power—what does it mean to still be faithful? The ancient Israelites wrestled with these same questions during exile, wondering if God had abandoned them or if their faith even mattered anymore. But voices like Habakkuk and Daniel show us that being chosen by God isn’t about privilege—it’s about living with courage, integrity, and trust, even in hard times. Please join us for this special Patriotic Music Sunday!


  • This Sunday, Pastor Tully will share a message from the heart as he looks back on 45 years of serving as a pastor. What does it mean to live with gratitude, to serve faithfully, and to trust God through every moment—good or bad? Pastor Tully reminds us that being a follower of Jesus isn’t about being perfect, but about doing the next right thing with God’s help. Each of us has a role to play in sharing God’s love. We hope you’ll join us—it’s going to be a special day.


  • Life doesn’t happen all at once—it comes in phases, and each phase has a purpose. God has designed a time for everything: to grow, to learn, to love, and to give back. But when we rush or mix up those phases, we often end up hurting ourselves and others. In this Father’s Day message, we’ll explore what it means to live wisely, love deeply, and care for the next generation more than we care for ourselves. Come hear how Jesus calls us to grow up in faith, not just for our own sake—but for the future.


  • This Sunday is Pentecost, one of the most important days in the Christian year—even more important than Christmas! It’s the day we remember how the Holy Spirit was poured out on Jesus’ followers and how the Church was born. Some people were confused or even made fun of what was happening, but others opened their hearts and received something amazing. God still speaks through dreams and visions today, and the Holy Spirit continues to work in our lives if we’re willing to listen. Join us and discover what it means to dream God's dreams and be led by His Spirit!
