If so, we'd like to invite you to join in a group photo shoot of Kerrville volunteers THIS Saturday, March 23rd at 2pm at the Museum of Western Art on Bandera Highway. Whether you volunteer on a regular basis or just on a project, we want you to be a part of this celebration that leads up to April's National Volunteer Month. The Mayor will be welcoming the group prior to the photo and there will be light refreshments and complimentary museum tour afterwards. We welcome all ages of volunteers - adults as well as youngsters. In addition, throughout the year we'll be spotlighting those who volunteer for our fabulous non-profits, either in health, education, social services, animal welfare, military or other worthy organizations. We've always felt that Kerrville is the most giving community in the Hill Country. Your participation will help us prove it! Grateful for our Mustard Seed Unpaid Servants who bless so many in our community! What a blessing! We have the most faithful unpaid servants who deliver food each week to our homebound neighbors. The Morning Rotary Club blessed Mustard Seed Pantry with more than 1,200 pounds of venison! What a blessing the Kerr County Inter-agency Networking Group is for our community! We meet monthly to work together to serve our neighbors in need. Together, we are better!
Do you remember that song, “I’ve got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, where? Down in my heart, where? Down in my heart to stay!” I used to sing that song with my kids when they were young, and then when they got older, if they were in a bad mood, I would sing it just to aggravate them. But in all seriousness, if we have Jesus, we have everything we need to have joy. Sometimes, when we are going through a difficult time, we need to be reminded of this. I pray joy over each of us today! Thank you to all of our amazing unpaid servants who blessed our community with wonderful food on Monday at the Mega Food Pantry! You brought joy to many! Thank you to all of our new unpaid servants who served at Mobile Mustard Seed on Tuesday! Methodist Healthcare Ministries Leadership Meeting!Mark your calendars for the Palm Sunday Celebration!

Richard Bowersox Ben Montoya Mark Huber Sidney Roberts FOOD 4 KIDS SERVANT TEAM IS AWESOME! Kerrville First United Methodist Church’s Food4Kids program provides food on the weekends for children experiencing food insecurity from our neighboring school, Nimitz Elementary. Other churches in our community have also adopted local schools in our county to be a blessing! KFUMC is currently helping 68 students and their families who do not have enough nutritious food to sustain them throughout the weekends. Many families depend on breakfast and lunch for their children at school and when school is not in session, like on weekends, it provides a hardship for the family. Our awesome unpaid servants help with the shopping, packing, delivering and distributing of the food to make this program possible. Food4Kids is a food relief ministry connected with our Mustard Seed Pantry. Thank you for supporting Food4Kids! Mobile Mustard Seed Shares Food Out In Our Community! KFUMC and Light on the Hill, among others, were recognized for Back-to-school Efforts in our community with the Kerrville Kindness Award by city council! Harvest Festival this Fall!

Mustard Seed Ministries Mustard Seed Ministries at Light on the Hill is about neighbors helping neighbors. At Light on the Hill, we pray that loving others and sharing Jesus and the hope that He brings to life, would be such a natural part of who we are and how we live that we don’t call it ‘outreach’ or ‘mission’ but simply ‘living’ in community. We desire to have long-term relationships with our neighbors so that we can truly call each other ‘friend.’
