Hymns for the Hungry July 26
Six years ago members of the First United Methodist Church of Bowie had a vision for helping to feed the hungry in their community and it led to an event called “Hymns for the Hungry.”
This event welcomes all surrounding churches and organizations to share their love through music.
This year’s host is Freedom Life Church located at 204 Theater Road. Hymns for the Hungry will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on July 26.
Each church or organization that would like to participate needs to plan for two songs, share in donating the food and drinks that will be served, and provide a couple of cakes for a live auction.
“Meal deals” of a hot dog, chips, and drink will be served for $5. Donations will be taken for dessert. Admission fee is $1 per person.
All proceeds will go directly to “God’s Table,” which is an outreach provided by First Free Will Baptist Church. This outreach is open six nights a week and feeds approximately 25-40 people nightly.
Please join this event. Deadline to sign up is July 19.
For more information or to sign your church up to participate call or text Jarae Scruggs at 940-841-1212. You also may call the FUMC office at 940-872-3384.
