In less than an hour, I’ve received two questions about where to go to make reservations* for worship. To me, that indicates that I haven’t done a good job of getting the word out. Here’s what you need to know. The link to the reservations form is at the top of the front page of AbileneFirstUMC.org. I hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn’t.

*Asking people to make reservations for a service of worship is a pretty ridiculous thing to have to do. Please be assured that we do so not because we want to exclude anyone, but rather because we want to include everyone who wants to come. Reservations allow up to plan how many services we need to accommodate everyone. Those without reservations will not be automatically turned away. But if there is not enough room for everyone who shows up, we will give priority to those who made a reservation.
