The Cub Scout Pack of First UMC wants to play Santa for some special children this Christmas. When they learned from their leader and church member, Lt. Patrick Lewis, that a Seagoville unit of U.S. Army troops are deploying before Christmas in route for Afghanistan, they decided to gather gifts of toys for their families and call the project, "Deploy of Toys."
The approximately 40 children of the deployed troops include infants through 13-year-olds. The Cub Scouts have placed a large bin in the entrance of the Fellowship Hall to collect the new, unwrapped, toys. They will wrap them when they take them to the recipients. Monetary donations will also be accepted at the Church Office and the scouts will purchase the gifts. The deadline for all donations is Thursday, December 8. For more information, please contact Patrick or Alisson Lewis, or Launny Thies.
The Cub Scouts also want to thank the First UMC congregation for their support of their pie fundraising project which raised $500 that will help a needy family this Christmas.
The Chancel Choir will be performing its annual Christmas Cantata during morning worship on December 18, 2011, at 10:50 a.m. Come and enjoy this great time for fellowship, and great music that will warm the heart.
Girlfriends of Glory will be singing Christmas carols at Windsor and Colonial again this year for the residents. Tony Dorsey has graciously consented to lead our "ruly" bunch in the singing!!! We will meet at Fellowship Hall for a brief "lesson" for our caroling at 3:30, and then load up to Windsor and Colonial. We will spend about 15 minutes at each location before on to the home of Betty Maier and Betty Rhodes for our Christmas celebration and dinner. Our dinner will be around 5:30(ish).
Don't forget to bring your "ugly" ornament for gift exchange. By the way, both Bettys have told me we can't leave the ornaments on their tree this year!!!!! I just don't understand, do you??? Also, if you would like to make a "donation" to the Terrell State Hospital or The Share Center, please bring your item(s). Anne Davidson and Gail Rodgers will make the deliveries on behalf of First United Methodist Church - Girlfriends of Glory! If you need directions or address for the Bettys' home, let me know either by email, phyllis_webb@sbcglobal.net, or you can call me at 214-546-7238. We can also carpool from the church parking lot or from Colonial when we are finished over to the Bettys'.
