It’s time to clean out your closet of unused coats and jackets to contribute to the HCUMC Coat Drive. We have provided warm coats and jackets to Metrocrest Social Services for distribution at their Holiday Store in the past and will continue that tradition again this year. The drive concludes December 4. There is a box in the narthex for collection. We need coats and Jackets for all ages. If a coat is machine washable, please wash before contributing it.

Contact Colleen Evans 214-457-3571 with any questions.

Angel Tre 

Put a smile on a child’s face on Christmas morning! Pick an angel from the tree in the narthex and be sure to put your name and phone number beside the child’s name on the Angel tree list. Pick out gifts and bring to the church by Sunday, December 11! Everyone smiles!
