United Methodist Men's Breakfast

Coffee & Donuts, oh my!

 The place to be in McCamey on any given Thursday morning is the McCamey Convalescent Center for coffee & donuts!  There are some tall tales being told by the dozen, and not by the residents!  This is a terrific way to catch up on the news and hear of by-gone days here in McCamey and Upton County.

It's pumpkin time!

Pastor Charles ventured to the First UMC in Crane this morning to look over the pumpkin patch fund-raiser they are doing.  He just had to pick up some for the churches in Iraan and McCamey! 

First Chilean Miner Rescued: Praise be to God!!!

McCamey Ministerial Alliance Meeting Today

Pastor Charles presided over his first meeting as the president of the McCamey Ministerial Alliance (MMA) this morning at the First Assembly of God Church. A lot was accomplished and there was a lot of energy present!


The first order of business was the welcoming of Christine Sparks, who introduced the MMA to a new program being sponsored by the Upton County Attorney.  The program deals with "relationship abuse awareness" and concerns itself with helping people spot the signs of an abusive relationship and how to get help if it occurs.  Christine will be presenting her story to the McCamey High School students on October 26th.


In other business, the former Frienship Center building is scheduled to be emptied of all contents at the city-wide clean-up day, November 6th.  After that, the building will be readied for its next function, the location of the Excell youth ministry!

The next meeting will be on November 9th at noon at Benoit's. 

The First UMC is looking for someone who wants to be a lay representative          (or alternate) to the MMA - talk with Pastor Charles if you are interested.
