New to FUMCSM or just curious about who we are and how we live out our faith? We invite all of our new members, visitors, and curious onlookers to join the pastors and staff for lunch at noon on Sunday, February First in Todd Hall. We’ll share a meal, enjoy fellowship and prayer, and talk about what it means to be part of this church in the heart of San Marcos. Come with your questions, your appetite, and your curiosity - we can't wait to know you better.
Our UMM are meeting at 6:30am on Wednesday, February 4 for their monthly breakfast in the FUMCSM Fellowship Hall. All are welcome!
The coffee will be fresh and hot.
Scout Sunday is a day we honor the reverence and dedication of our young people in scouting. We have invited our Troops and Packs who meet here regularly at our church to participate in services this Sunday. If you are a Cub, Scout, or leader, wear your uniform this Sunday and speak to your leaders or our pastors if you have any questions about how you can be involved!
Until February 8, you’ll find two collection bins in Todd Hall: one for Youth and one for Kids. These two groups are going head-to-head to see who can collect the most cans for the Hays County Food Bank.
Rev. Danielle and Rev. Bonnie put themselves on the line for their teams and more cans! - whomever wins pours gallons of ICE COLD WATER on the other team's representing reverend! Danielle has joined the Kid's team, and Bonnie the Youth's.
Grab some cans and pick a side - or both - because every donation helps!
9:30am- 10:30am in Todd Hall

Our youth are having a Super Bowl Party at 5pm February 8 in lieu of Fireside. Bring your friends and your favorites snacks and have fun rooting for your team while hanging with friends and eating all the junk food so Pastor Bonnie doesn't have to take it all home!
