Christmas at First United Methodist Church can’t happen without you! Can you help us as an usher, greeter, communion server, or just a friendly face on Christmas Eve?

 

Click here to sign up to be a greeter, or click here to be an usher. Click here to serve Communion. Or Email Kathy to learn more about our current needs!

We’re a special stop on the Holiday Tour of Homes!  This is a great way to share the heart of Christ from the heart of McKinney.  There will be hundreds of visitors who stop by to see our historic sanctuary and learn about our church.  Would you like to help?  We have several needs: greeters, docents, decoration team, and more.  Email Paula to sign up and learn more.

 

The tour is December 7th from 10am to 5pm and December 8th from 1pm to 5pm.  

Help us prepare for the season!  We are getting the church ready for Advent and Christmas, and we need your help!  This is an easy and fun way to help us share the heart of Christ from the heart of McKinney.  We have the supplies and directions, you just help put them up!  We’re a stop on this year’s Tour of Homes, so we want to be ready to welcome hundreds of visitors into our beautiful space.

Time: 7pm

Second floor, Rooms E-215-225

You are invited to hear from Paul Markowitz, Founder of Senior Living Specialists. Paul and his team operate a free service throughout DFW to families to assist them with selecting the appropriate senior living option and property based on individual needs, personality, and financial situation. Senior Living Specialists advise clients not only on which options to look at, they also provide questions to ask, and the pitfalls to avoid. 

This seminar is free of cost and open to anyone interested and needs information on resources for aging parents or relatives in the community. No preparation is required for this event.

 

 

We are showering our Mission Closet with baby items! You can make a donation with “baby” in the memo or stop by the Baby Shower table in the hallway this week to learn more!

 

Help us keep items stocked for those in need by “purchasing” a gift. It’s easy! You make a donation for an item and we shop for it and keep items replaced in our closet. This allows us to have enough supplies on hand for when there is a need, but not be overstocked as we have limited space.

 

 

 

It’s going to be a spooky good time!  This event is open to the community, so invite your boos!  We want your trunks, your treats, and your tricks!  You can be part of this frighteningly fun evening.

 

Sign up to decorate your trunk – you can do it alone or with your best ghoulies!

 

Purchase bags of individually wrapped candy and drop them off at the church office!

 

Invite your boos!
