“Preach the Gospel. Use words only if necessary.” (St. Francis of Assisi)
At FUMC, we feel that it is important to care not only for the spiritual and emotional needs of all God’s people but also their physical needs. Thus, we feel it is VERY important to take part in mission projects that provide for these needs. Won’t you join us?
For more information about missions, contact
Rev. Georgia Harrison, Adult Education Pastor: 940-766-4231, x276.

Did you know that three college students from our church (Lauren Haynes, Clay Ginn, and Dannielle Rouse), Ronda Haynes, and Jeff Ginn participated in a Mission Trip during Spring Break to the Lydia Patterson Institute in El Paso, Texas with the Denton Wesley Foundation? Lauren, Clay, and Dannielle are shown here with Stephanie Iracheta (the recipient of the FUMC Youth LPI Scholarship) and her brother, Alberto.
THANK YOU TO
LAUREN, CLAY, DANNIELLE, RONDA, AND JEFF!
FOR YOUR SERVICE!
On Saturday, March 6, three from FUMC (DeEdra Folmar, Bryan Press, & Troy Sims) and four from Floral Heights UMC joined forces to work on a 29’ wheel-chair ramp on Wood St. This was the first build that our church had worked on with the Texas Ramp Project (www.texasramps.org). The whole project from start to finish was only 4 hours, allowing the homeowner to more easily and safely make it from the house to the car.
Currently, John Laine, of the Texas Ramp Project, said there are over 20 ramps that need to be built in our area now (and that is without doing much publicity). We plan to try to build at least a ramp per month, and hopefully at some point we can get a warehouse to be able to pre-build and store components which will allow more people to participate and make the actual build go faster.
Contact Rev. Sims if you’d like to participate in helping with any aspects of this project!

Much work was completed on Saturday, October 3, 2009 by nine FUMC members as well as members of Faith Baptist on the “Apostles’ Build” (a house being built solely by local churches). Tasks included roofing and siding. Special thanks go to these folks who came out to work: Fred Bunton, Greg & Erica Conner, Elmer Deges, John Dillard, Kyle Knight, Elizabeth Newton, J.B. Riley, and Troy Sims. Thanks also goes to those who brought food for workers: Pat Haywood, Sandra Sims, and Elizabeth Yeager.
