After 141 years of ministry, Handley UMC has voted to close its doors. Our congregation was invited to partner with the Annual Conference and use the Handley campus to develop a new style and type of ministry for the people in that community. The primary goal of this new ministry opportunity is to continue having a United Methodist presence in the Handley area of Fort Worth. However, since the congregation has faced some significant challenges over the last several years, this new ministry will not just be a continuation of what has been happening. Rather, there will be an intentionality of having a multiethnic congregation and ministry within the Handley community. That goal will take creativity and hard work but it can be done and will be a blessing to many.

Our fall program will be on Thursdays from 4:30pm-6:30pm from October 3rd through December 5th. The program involves sports, music, and tutoring 6th grade math and. We truly believe that the most important thing we can do for these kids is to build relationships with them and encourage them so they can have the confidence to succeed. You must be ministry safe certified as well as go through the background check for Fort Worth ISD to help. Please contact Rev. Kevin Anderson at kevin@trinityarl.org to get more information or to sign up.

We are having chapel on Mondays for the kids at the Treasure Chest Learning Center. It has been a fun and exciting time for us as we see these kids ages 2-5 dance around and sing. Their enthusiasm is amazing and is a great way for them to start their week.
