Food Drive Continues
Please Help Us Help Otheres
First, thank you for all who participated in our emergency food drive. We collected enough food to supply five families with food. It turns out that even with SNAP benefits returning, there is still many families who wrestle with having enough to eat. For this reason, we are continuing to collect non-perishible food at the church. You can drop off any future donations at the church during our usual meeting times (Sunday mornings, third Wednesdays of the month during the fellowship meal, etc.)
​
There is still a good deal of food remaining at the church so if you are reading this and have a need for you or your family, I invite you to reach out to the church for assistance. It will be our pleasure to do our best to meet your needs with what we have on hand. Also, if you know of someone who needs food assistatnce, please reach out to us as well. The church office number is on the contact page of this website. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AS THE OFFICE IS NOT ALWAYS MANNED. SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO YOU.
FREE MEAL
On November 25th, St. John's (the church that we rent space from) is holding at Turkey and Pork dinner free of charge for everyone who wants to attend. They will be holding this in the social hall (where our church usually meets). If you want to give a donation, you can but it certainly is not necessary. They are wanting to feed everyone who shows up a wonderful meal of turkey, pork shoulder and many delicious sides. See the St. John's UCC Farmersville website for more details on this free meal.
Adult Sunday Morning Study
The Sunday morning Bible study is now in the book of Numbers. We are exploring the early days of the nation of Israel after the Exodus and the ways in which the Lord shaped and provided for the new nation on the move in the wilderness. There are many themes and truths that impact our lives today.
The Gospel of John: Our current Bible Study
Starting on January 28th (for the men's study) and January 29th (for everyone else study) we will begin our study in the Gospel of John. Using the same format we have done in our last three studies, the men who prefer a men-only format will meet at the pastor's house on Tuesday nights at 6:30 and the couples and everyone else who want to participate in the study will be held at the church on Wednesday nights at 6:30. There was a desire stated in the last study for the sessions of each study to be shorter. This will be the goal of this study. As always, if you miss a session, the notes will be posted on this website on Thursdays. I hope you will come and be a part of this study. As one of my seminary professors said about his book, "It is shallow enough for a toddler to wade along its shore but deep enough that an elephant can swim in its depths and never touch the bottom." We'll find that this unique gospel will be well worth the time we spend in it. Start planning now to be part of this study.
