We are changing the mission for the PX to a support members of our church with family in the military. This includes mailing cards and care packages so that our church can thank them for their service and pray for them. To do this, we need your help. If you have a family member serving in the military fill out the form above. We also have forms in the Gathering Area. Turn those into the front office.

To everyone at First United Methodist Church Plano, thank you so much for the care package! The snacks and crystal light are greatly appreciated and will quickly be consumed while we are out flying. We look forward to enjoying the popcorn when we watch movies in our downtime! Thank you again for thinking of me and for all of your support. We all really appreciate it!
