Shipments of nonperishable food and health essential kits have arrived from UMCOR and will be distributed very soon to refugees that will be released and who will be traveling on buses from our area.
The churches have received two shipments thus far of this humanitarian aid. They are expecting a larger third shipment which will be delivered to Principe De Paz United Methodist Church on Monday, April 15.
The Second shipment involved Richard and Lynda Mergen, volunteers from North Shore UMC of the Rio Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Texas State students ministry leaders recently explored graduate school options at the Perkins School of Theology at SMU in Dallas. While at Perkins, students joined a talk by Adam Hamilton on the "Future of a Diverse/Divided Church." This seminary trip was part of a grant awarded to the United Campus Ministry at Texas State from the Young Clergy Initiative of the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church.

Disaster Used Clothing Drive
Written by Pam Elliott, Hill Country District
The district’s annual Lenten collection officially began Ash Wednesday, March 6. We invite and encourage your church to catch up. We collect wearable used clothes until our partners, the Seventh-day Adventists, send their trucks to collect our collections. This year, the trucks should come the week of April 8-12 to have your space cleared out before the run-up to Easter. The exact schedule will depend on which churches participate and how much each collects.
Yes, they can accept hats, belts, and shoes. No, they cannot take swimsuits or used underwear.
Information about new appointments will be posted to this page on Tuesday at noon during the appointive season. Appointments may also be added as necessary.
