Well, we may not be in the army, but the UM Army surely is in FUMC Quitman - all over it, all week! The seige began the afternoon of Sunday, July 11, is likely to last until Saturday, the 17th. There are 42 youth and 14 sponsoring adults practically living here! In fact, the only time you won't find this bunch at church is when they're out scouting the community for properties they can spruce up with their hammers and saws, lumber and roofing materials, paint and who knows what else. They've even taken over the parking lot with tools and materials. They're here from four churches in Texas, on a mission aimed at bettering the lives of some individuals in our community who can use some help. We have an idea that the greastest gifts may be received by these folks who've come to give so much.
We at First United Methodist Church in Quitman built our new J.O.Y. Hall with this kind of service to the community in mind, and are delighted to have UM Army with us this week.
