Dorcas Circle

Dorcas (also known as Tabitha) was a disciple, living in Joppa, who spent her life doing good works and helping the poor. When she died the townspeople were so distraught they called upon Peter, who happened to be in Joppa at the time, to raise her from the dead. And so he did.

The Dorcas Circle, established in 1975, is a Methodist women’s group devoutly committed to God, asking Him in prayer, for guidance and instruction. 'It is through Him that we are moved to help'. The Dorcas Circle undertakes one major project each year, in addition to smaller, individual projects.

Fruits of our successful fundraisers :

• Make a substantial contribution toward the foundation repair of Lane Chapel C.M.E, a renovation project undertaken as FUMC's Easter mission.
• Assist with the cost of stained glass window replacement in Soul Cafe.
• Assist with Mardi Gras celebration at FUMC.
• Purchase bread for Kids Eat Free, fill Christmas stockings for New Hope children, provide funds for a special weekly New Hope children's meal and provide snacks for VBS.
• Send a Dorcas Circle representative to the McCurdy School mission project in New Mexico.
• Continuing support for "Scrubs for Kids" helping to comfort abused children at Denton Regional Medical center. 

And as always, we stand ready to help individual families in need!

All of these accomplishments were made possible through personal contributions and funds raised through Spaghetti Dinners, Pie Sales and other projects performed by the willing hands of Dorcas Circle members. We couldn't do it without your generosity, so from The Dorcas Circle to you, our loving church family, a big thank you for helping us help others.
