Emergency Food Drive
Please Help Us Help Otheres
As Americans, we are all in this together. By "this" I mean the current government shut down. In just a few days we will have people in our community who have depended upon various federal programs for their food and those programs will cease due to the shut down. The truth is that it does matter the cause of the shut down, what matters is people needing to eat. While our church cannot meet the needs of the entire community, we certainly can help some families.
​
For this reason, on Saturday November 8th from 10:00 AM until Noon and then again on Sunday Novenber 9th from Noon until 2:00 PM we will have the church basement open to receive certain food dontaions. These donations will be used exclusively to feed families who reach out to the church for help. If you want more information, please click this link.

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 I & II Peter and Jude. These three books discuss the advantage of putting your faith in Jesus Christ as your hope in this life and the next. They also discuss living above persecution and the troubles of this world and the importance of keeping your faith built upon the truth opposed to the various feel-good falsehoods presented by this world.
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.
