Calling All Shepherds!

Posted Saturday, July 26, 2008

The Lord calls us to feed His sheep. At Flower Mound United Methodist, we cheerfully tend His flock by providing food where there's hunger and building relationships where there's hurt. Formerly the Homeless Ministry, the Feeding His Sheep mission serves our hungry brothers and sisters from Dallas to Denton. Your compassion, time and gifts can help the:

  • Homeless in Denton and Dallas
  • Hard-working day laborer force in Lewisville
  • Elderly, shut-ins and working poor families in Flower Mound and Lewisville.
