Easter at Donna FUMC
















Palm Sunday was a exciting service eight new members and an adult baptism.
Our Easter at Donna First United Methodist was grand and glorious. We began with 7:00 a.m. sunrise service, followed by pancake breakfast, an Easter Egg hunt and another service at 10:30a.m.. 68 for sunrise and 215 for the 10:30 a.m. service. The sunrise service was held in the beautifully renewed by Connie Graham (horticulturist & Lay Leader) prayer garden.
We'll serve the Donna Church until we return to Indiana May 15th. It has been a joyful adventure to serve as their interim since last October with breaks for a cruise and trip to Nigeria.

Lastest Escapades
















Our Latest adventures include Eileen's trip to Indiana to visit our five grands there. She had a great time and I was glad to have here back home again in Texas. Taylor, Tommie, Spencer, Reagan & Reilly Matt, Shauna, Scot and Jenny. While in Jos, Nigeria Eileen had outfits custom made for the girls. They are showing them off in some of these photos. The dresses are made by a ministry with widows who are taught to sew, given a pedel operated sewing machine and then returned to their villages where they can earn a living sewing. We also has outfits made. Eileen and I wore ours for Easter.
