Missions 

Join us for our 2^nd annual Methodist Family Feud. The first edition of the Family Feud matched a Bible team from our church against teams from three area United Methodist Churches, with the beneficiary being Cameroon Missions.  In this photo Susan Adair rings the bell to answer one of the questions. Look for details of the Family Feud soon.

Through frequent, widely varied Mission activities at First United Methodist Church of DeSoto we:

• recognize and address the needs of those less fortunate in our area;
• joyfully accept our responsibility to 'show that we are Christians by our Love';
• find meaningful ways for people of different strengths, talents, resources, and energy levels to serve;
• appropriately accept our place in the world-wide church, sharing beyond our national borders;
• strengthen the bonds of friendship and mutual support through fun, fellowship, and food in the accomplishment of our Mission goals.

A FEW of the activities to which we are committed are:

• Partnership with the Prison Ministry of the Methodist Church in Cameroon.

• Regular donations to the Food / Commodity Pantry at Wilkinson Center.

• Crafters who produce items for donation at Christmas, for Great Days of Service, and for sale at the annual Fall Festival.
