Parsonage Committee
Largely due to the generosity of Floy White, the parsonage for First United Methodist church is among the most lovely ones in the Fort Worth District. Located at 387 Lincoln Oaks, it serves as the home for our pastoral family. The Parsonage Committee, in conjunction with the trustees, has charge of keeping the residence in tip top shape. Also, when there is a change in parsonage families, the Parsonage Committee coordinates meals and welcomes the new family into their new home by being as helpful as they can during the moving-in process. Should there be a serious illness in the parsonage family, the Committee coordinates the provision of meals and other acts of love and mercy.

Worship is at the heart of what we do as Christians. We gather to celebrate the risen and living Lord of life. The worshipping committee is responsible for the preparation for worship. Preparation includes these areas: communion, ushers, coordinating with the tech team, flowers, altar decorations, plants, upkeep of instruments, recruiting liturgists (people who help lead worship), care of choir robes and kneelers, banners, celebrating special days and seasons within the Christian year, decorating for Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter.

Stewardship Team
The Giving Committee has the enviable responsibility of encouraging congregation to receive the blessings of systematic giving of their money. Tithing (giving 10% of your income) is the Biblical standard to which we aspire. The Giving committee holds up Biblical references as well as personal testimonies of the benefits of giving through a concentrated campaign which ultimately underwrites the program budget of the church. The message is simple: we give out of our great thankfulness for and in response to God's abundant giving to us. We give because God gave first. We give because we want to be faithful.
