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!

Fall is a great time for fashion, and a great time for showing off your love of First United Methodist Church. Do both at once with our new Church T-shirts. The new designs are in adult sizes in lovely heathered green and dusty peach colorways. Get yours today with a $15 donation to the missions and ministries of your church!

 

Shirts can be purchased at the Coffee Bar in the Dyer Hall hallway on Sunday mornings. Can’t make it in to pick up a shirt? Email Caitlin and we can mail you one!

It’s that time of year! School is starting back up. Kids are invited to bring their backpacks to Sunday worship August 4 as we pray over our students and teachers. We will also have our annual First United Methodist backpack tags available to pick up. The aren’t just for students either – they look great on a purse, briefcase, or duffle bag!

 

Thanks for keeping our students, teachers, and school staff in your prayers for a safe and happy new school year.

Come play dominoes, board games, and more!
Fun and treats for all.

Our mission partners in the mountains of Panama have let us know about a developing need. Heavy storms have washed out a bridge the Ngnobe-Bugle children rely on to walk to school. We need to respond quickly to rebuild this bridge so kids aren’t having to make a perilous river crossing every day.

 

If you can support this mission, please click here to visit our Mission Panama giving portal and write “Bridge” in the memo line.

Our friends at Baby Booties Diaper Bank need our help! Due to inflation and rising rent costs, families are struggling more than ever to make ends meet. Baby Booties has seen a 60% increase in customers in the past two years. Their diaper supplies are critically low, so it’s time to get our Booties in gear!

 

They have asked for baby diapers (especially sizes 4, 5, & 6). You can drop these supplies off in the Church office or the Hub, or click here to give financially

 

Your generosity helps this local Downtown McKinney nonprofit supply diapers and other sanitary supplies to families in need in our community!
