Azle Area Ministerial Alliance

AAMA October Luncheon
Thank you to First Methodist Church of Azle, Texas for hosting today’s Azle Area Ministerial Alliance luncheon, to Kim and Mark Ware for sponsoring it, and to Caitlyn's Catering for the wonderful meal.

After 41 years with the AAMA, David Shaffer of Son Shine Ministries reflected on two important parts of its ministry: building peer relationships and serving the community through public events. He spoke about the value of sharing ideas, extending grace across theological differences, and forming authentic friendships where we can encourage and support one another.

He also celebrated the AAMA’s community work—from Follow the Flag and the Azle Lake Run to the National Day of Prayer, school events, and scholarships. These welcoming events help build relationships and create opportunities to share the love of Christ in ways everyone can understand.

We’re grateful for David’s thoughtful message and for all who serve the Azle area in the name of Jesus Christ!
