The Journey: Traveling through the Bible in a Year.

A&M UMC is participating a church wide journey of reading through the Bible in a year. There are weekly vistas as we focus on one of the stories in that week's readings for the message. There are Small Groups for those interested in discussing the week's readings. and sharing in the fellowship that is small groups. "The Grand Sweep", the daily commentary provided by Dr. Ellsworth Kalas, will assist you in this journey, is available through the church office or on Sundays after services.  Donations are appreciated to cover the cost of these books. However, we have set no price on them so that every household will have a copy. Together let's prepare for The Journey.  To read more...

Also, there are two pastor’s led studies on Wednesdays which will supplement and help answer questions regarding the weeks readings for The Journey. There is one Brown Bag Study which meets at 12 noon  and another which meets at 6:15 pm after Wednesday Night Supper. Contact kathleene@am-umc.org  for more information.

If you do not have a copy of "The Grand Sweep" yet, you may call the church office at (979) 846-8731.  In the mean time, click here for a copy of the pages for the first few weeks.

Brazos Church Pantry
Volunteers for the Brazos Church Pantry have become fewer in number, yet the need in our community is greater. The work load of the Church Pantry volunteers is ever increasing.  Due to the stresses caused by "more work and too few hands" many volunteers have left or are considering leaving. Unless the Church Pantry becomes adequately staffed, it may be forced to additionally reduce hours of operation or even close its doors. PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call the Church Pantry (979)
