Dear Church Family, We are grateful that our Mustard Seed Food Pantry can help our neighbors throughout the year with food assistance, but especially during the most recent government shutdown. Thousands of families in Kerr County are affected by the suspension of SNAP benefits. During the month of November, we will be collecting non-perishable food donations in the lobby area at Kerrville First United Methodist Church. Shopping baskets will be available for you to drop off your donations throughout the week and on Sunday mornings. Some food items that are needed are canned chicken, canned chili, canned stew, macaroni and cheese boxes, canned spaghetti sauce, beans and rice. If you want to give a monetary donation, please make your check out to KFUMC and put Mustard Seed in the memo or you can give electronically through the KFUMC website. Just go to GIVE, then click on Give Online and scroll on down to Mustard Seed Ministries. Thank you for your generosity! Beth Palmer Candy, Costumes, and Cars — Oh My!Trunk or Treat was spooktacular!

Emmaus November  TOGETHER The world is watching. The way Christians talk about their church has great impact, and the way we speak of other local congregations, pastors and the church around the world speaks volumes. Is the body of Jesus Christ united in love and mission, or are we divided? How does the world see us? Are we living as examples of grace, love, and unity? Here are some ways to be a witness in how we think about, speak of and interact with other faith communities. My prayer is that we step into some of these practices and become a witness in our community of what the family of God is supposed to look like. Speak well of other churches and pastors and pray for them. Every chance we have, speak words of blessing and affirmation over faith communities in our area. These are family members. Share words of blessing. Be kind. Pray for our faith communities and their leaders. Partner with other churches. Sometimes churches feel the need to do everything on their own, even when another church in the area is doing the same thing wonderfully. But we want to join together and let our community see churches that partner and work together. We are blessed to work with other faith communities with food relief efforts and through Habitat for Humanity, to just mention a few of the ways we partner. The world is watching. Let’s give witness to our unity. We are the family of God. Let’s shine the light of Jesus through our example. Rejoice where God is working. Celebrate where the kingdom of God is expanding. Let the world see that we are united, partners, family and one. Volunteer Opportunities We could use extra hands, please join us Monday!  Join us to help out at 9:45AM, October 29th.

Supporting Hurricane AreasYesterday, volunteers loaded 400 flood buckets onto trailers at the Rio Texas Conference Disaster Warehouse located on the Light on the Hill campus. These trucks and trailers are heading to the areas that were devastated by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.  Other Activities/Events  Thank you to everyone who helped make the Hill Country Emmaus Women’s Walk 68 at Light on the Hill “The Best Walk Ever!” The Holy Spirit Moved in a Powerful Way! From Jane Davis as she is praying for us this morning… As I sit in my familiar spot, the morning sun is just starting to cast a morning glow… My mind carries me to the beckoning bench, where I can sit, reflect, pray and just imagine the quiet gentle breeze. Many of us are different than we were just a few days ago. Lives have changed. Hearts have changed. We all still have challenges…but somehow they are different. Drift to your own last few days. How is today different from last week? Are your priorities switched around? Is your heart filled with hope? Does your day feel brighter and lighter? I am praying for you now. “God can do anything you know—far more than you could ever imagined or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us.” Ephesians 3:20 Thank you!What a wonderful morning for sharing food with our community this past Mega Monday! Thank you to all of the unpaid servants! Mobile Mustard SeedMobile Mustard Seed unpaid servants love our neighbors! Harvest Festival 2024Join us November 2, 10am-2pm CT!  |
