2024 Acts of the Called image

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: We believe that our community, now more than ever, needs the church of Jesus Christ.
 
It’s during challenging times that we have the opportunity to walk by faith. Pray for Gods peace, comfort and protection.

What does the Advent Season, and more specifically Christmas mean to you? I remember being in high school in the 80’s and hearing a commercial where Advent was reduced to the gift-giving season. Even though I was not a Christian, I remember how offended I was by that statement. I thought to myself, “This is what Christmas time has been reduced to?” To be clear, I was not the sharpest tool in the shed, nor was I on some mission to put Christ “back in Christmas”. However, despite not being a Christian (and not going to church), I knew deep down that Christmas meant something more. Now, I know what the birth of the Savior means. As much as I like presents, family, food and parties, it’s not about that.
 
What does Christmas mean to me? Christmas is the eternal reminder that the LORD of creation loves sinful humanity, of the great lengths He went to in order to redeem a lost people, shining the light of the Gospel in the darkness of sin. For me, Christmas brings me back to this reality: YAHWEH always fulfills His promises- namely, the resurrection! Because Jesus rose from the grave as promised, we now know for sure those who have died in Christ will rise from the dead and take our seat at the heavenly banquet table. Christ in the manger is the LORD’s way of giving us hope for the future (in good times and bad). By fulfilling the promise of the coming Savior, we know for sure we can trust that He will fulfill all His promises. “Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14.
 
“And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’” Luke 2:10-11
 
“But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not
here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.’” Matthew 28:5-6.
 
Loved ones, our salvation is secure! Hosanna in the highest!
 
Merry Christmas!
 
Pastor Steve

ABOUT US

First and foremost, WELCOME! We are so glad you found us. The Plano Methodist Church has been serving the community since 1856. At the Plano Methodist Church, we know that it is important for us not only to experience God’s Love, but also to give it. Whether or not you’ve ever been to church before, we’d love to welcome you into a church family where you’ll be loved and accepted.
 

GET ALL THE ANSWERS YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HERE!

 
When are the Worship Services?
The Plano Methodist Church offers a casual traditional service that begins at 10:00 am every Sunday morning held in our beautiful sanctuary.
 
Do you have childcare available? What about my children?
Nursery care is available for ages 4 and under located just off of our sanctuary in our Education Building. Sunday School is also offered for K-7th grade from 9:00 am to 9:45 am prior to worship service. Children are always welcome to sit with you in worship as well. We offer a variety of Sunday School classes for all age groups.
 
Where can I get information to take home?
There is a Welcome Table located on the stage area next to the sanctuary. You will find welcome packets and all sorts of information regarding our church and community. Please help yourself to any of the resources.
 
What do Plano Methodists believe?
We believe through Jesus God has made a way for sinful humankind to be reconciled with Him. We believe Jesus by His death, burial and resurrection is the Savior and through we are offered eternal life, Jesus is the only hope for eternal life. We believe in the authority of the holy Scriptures, found in the Old and New Testaments.
 
What is expected of members?
We expect members of Plano Methodist Church to be faithful in prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. We also encourage all members to worship regularly, grow in their faith by participating in a small group or class, to serve God with their hands by serving both in the church and in the world, and to give in proportion to their income.
