Nutrition on the Weekend BackPack Ministry

Each Friday OP Norman Jr. High distributes food to 23 participating children (10 girls & 13 boys).The program has an ongoing need and has asked for our help in donating items.
Kaufman Christian Help Center "The Center"
Please bring non-perishable food items to be donated to the center. You may bring by the church office, or drop into box in fellowship hall.
Scouting Ministry
FUMC supports our Cub, Boy, and Girl Scouting programs. These ministries teach our children and youth spiritual and characater development, citizenship, and self-reliance through work on service projects and activities. They learn new skills in science, technology, engineering, and math. Scouting also connects them to nature, provides leadership opportuities and builds healthy mentor and peer relationships.
