Hymns for the Hungry seeking music participants
Five years ago, the First United Methodist Church of Bowie had a vision for helping to feed the hungry in their community.
That vision led to an event called “Hymns for the Hungry,” which includes all surrounding churches/organizations to share their love with others through music.
The FUMC’s Outreach Team decided to try something new this year. Why not ask different churches each year to “host” this event?
The plan worked Bowie’s Lighthouse Assembly of God Church, located at 2998 State Highway 59, will be the first host. This event will be from 6-8 p.m. on July 26.
Each church or organization that would like to participate needs to plan for two or three 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. The 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 feeds about 25-40 people six days a week.
Please join this event. If your church has a service on Wednesday, let this event be your “church” for Wednesday.
For more information or to sign your church up, call or text Jarae Scruggs at 940-841-1212. You also may call the office at 940-872-3384.
