Youth Halloween Movie Night Join us tonight at 5 pm in the FLC as we watch Corpse Bride together. Bring your favorite snacks to share!
Biscuits and Blessings Join us on November 1st at 10 am in Vinson Hall for food, fellowship, and an opportunity to celebrate God’s faithfulness as we make our commitments for the year ahead.
All Saints Day & Commitment Sunday Join us Sunday, November 1, as we remember and give thanks for the faithful saints who have gone before us. We stand on the shoulders of giants, and there is still work to be done as we carry forward their legacy and mission! As we conclude our “I’M IN” stewardship campaign, we will prayerfully make our commitments for 2027, responding to God’s grace and investing in the future of Dallas First UMC. We’re better together and cannot be whole without YOU! Remember, you can complete your Pledge card online on our Stewardship page.
Griefshare: Surviving the Holidays If you, or someone you know struggles with grief during the holiday season, this may be for you. We will meet on November 8th from 3-5 pm in Vinson Hall. You can register at www.griefshare.com/holidays.
Mistletoe Market It’s almost here! Don’t miss this chance to shop from local vendors and support our Children’s Learning Center! November 14th, 9 am – 1 pm, in the FLC. Invite your friends!
Adult Bible Study Join Denise Williams Wednesdays at 6:30 pm in the Barton Room for our new study “When Helping Hurts”. We will explore how to love our neighbors effectively without doing unintended harm.
Take a Bible. Grow in Faith. We believe everyone should have a Bible of their own. If you do not have one, please take a pew Bible or choose one from the rolling cart in the FLC as our gift to you. We hope it helps you discover more about God and grow in your faith. For Questions about this ministry or Bible-reading tips, contact Mary Perren at perren0123@comcast.net.
Help Us Bring Others To Church We are exploring a Church Van Ministry to provide transportation for those who cannot get to worship on their own. Depending on volunteer interest, we may begin by offering rides occasionally rather than every Sunday. If you would be willing to drive or support this ministry, please contact Pastor Ben at ben@dallasfirstumc.org.
West Virginia Mission Trip Save the date! Dates for the 2027 Mission Trip will be June 20-26th. Please see Barry Goughler for more information.
