Garments of Grace grew out of a dream ti provide children and youth with brand-new clothes to start the school year, thus giving them a big dose of self-esteem. It continues to provide new clothing two times a year. Recipients, who must be referred by teachers or community agencies, get to shop for their new clothes and accessories in a boutique-like setting. 

We encourage you to watch for end-of-the-season bargains of clothing to donate to Garments of Grace. Look for the collection basket in the Atrium of the church. For questions, contact Michelle McGee at 940-550-5915.

Our Daily Bread evolved out of the question “What do children who depend on free or reduced lunches during the school term eat during the summer?” The answer to this question was the creation of Our Daily Bread.

This summer weekday feeding program provides lunch for children, youth, and adults who might not otherwise have a hot nutritious noon meal. Meals are served five days a week for six weeks beginning in early July.  Some of the food served comes from the church garden and is grown especially for Our Daily Bread.  In addition to lunch a sack supper of sandwiches and snacks is provided to take home for the evening meal. Transportation is available each day by calling the church office at 940-549-0970.

Volunteers are always needed and welcome. Jobs include everything from greeting to food preparation, cooking, serving, clean-up, and transportation. Community organizations are invited to sign up to provide food and volunteers. For additional information about Our Daily Bread contact “Mrs. B,” Bronwen Choate at 940-550-5326.

Prayers and Squares provides handmade quilts for people going through a difficult time in their lives. Each quilt is lovingly and prayerfully made and then shared in worship where it is blessed and then prayed over by members of the congregation. Strings are attached in the middle of each square of the quilt and are tied together as a tangible symbol of the prayers that have been lifted up for the recipient.

Workdays are held on the 3^rd Tuesday of each month from

9:00 a.m. to 12 noon in the Serendipity Room of McCree Hall. You do not have to know how to sew to help. They have jobs for everyone from selecting fabric to cutting squares to ironing as well as laundering or attaching the ties. And for those who choose, there are plenty of opportunities for sewing also. For additional information about helping to make prayer quilts contact Karen Howard at 940-521-7004.

To request a quilt for a friend or loved one contact Sandra Boedeker at the church office at 940-549-0970. After we bless and tie the knots and pray, the quilt will be ready for you to deliver. 

FUMC's church garden provides nutritious food for the community, sharing produce with the food bank, Sr. Citizen's Center and our own Friendship Meal and Our Daily Bread.
