Food Pantry Needs

The Eastland County Food Pantry is in need of pasta, pasta sauce, and tuna.

First Blessings Shoe Event

We will participate in the First Blessings Shoe event again this year on Saturday, November 11th. We have 104 children who have been signed up to receive a free pair of shoes. If you would like to volunteer or donate money to fund the shoes, please call the church office at 254-629-1022.

Coats, Hoodies, Gloves and Hats

The Eastland County Child Welfare Board is providing warm outerwear for the foster children from Eastland County.

This is not a direct mission out of our church, but many of our board are members of our church. Roberta Broussard, Tammy Brinkley, Kathy Druesedow, Jayne Jones, Kay Shafer, and Judy Orms (Women's Bible Study member) are all board members. If you would like to make a donation to keep our kids warm, any donations can be given to a board member and would be much appreciated.

Thank you from our children.
