Ice Cream Social!

A sweet time was had by all at our Volunteer Appreciation Ice Cream Social in June!  Many of our wonderful volunteers stopped by to create (and eat!) ice cream sundaes, play corn hole, and visit!  It was great to see everyone who came.  We sure appreciate ALL of our volunteers!

Thank you to our congregations!

As always, we are so grateful to our host churches for providing hospitality, food, and shelter for our guests.  We currently are serving one precious family with two little girls. Our July host congregations include First United Methodist church in Sherman, Hagerman Baptist in Sherman, First United Methodist in Whitesboro and First Baptist in Whitesboro.  Thank you to these congregations for showing God's love in such a tangible way!

Tabitha House 

As you may remember, Clayton Homes recently donated a brand new manufactured home (Tabitha House) to Family Promise for use as a transitional home. A family recently stayed in it for a couple of weeks and reported they were very comfortable there. Special thanks to Glen Dube for mowing, weed-eating, and fixing the back fence last week! He really made things look spiffy! Additional thanks to the Knollwood Community for volunteering to help keep our lot mowed. If you have a green thumb (or not!) and would like to help keep our lot looking nice, please let Leigh know (903-271-1088).

The Bed Race Relay is coming up!

The 2022 Family Promise of Grayson County Bed Race Relay will be held on Saturday, September 17th at First United Methodist Church of Sherman between 10 AM and 2 PM in conjunction with Sherman Arts Fest. 

This event is one of our major fundraisers for the year and we hope you will want to get involved to help us reach (or exceed) our fundraising goal of $30,000. There are several ways you can get involved. The first way is by signing up your church or organization to be an event sponsor for the Bed Race Relay.

The second is is to have one or more teams participate in the Bed Race Relay. This is a fun event for teams of 5 members each. Teams race against each other in a foot race to make a bed with a bottom fitted sheet, top sheet, pillow, comforter, and teddy bear. Each team member will place one item on the bed in a relay format. The catch is that each team member will need to navigate a series of obstacles in order to get to the bed from the starting line. The obstacles are appropriate for racers of all ages. This is a great event for youth groups, Sunday School classes, and/or families.
