Response to Hurricane Disaster

Donations made through FUMCR for hurricane relief are used for victims of both Katrina and Rita. You may make a donation through the church's business office. More than $100,000 has been contributed for hurricane relief by our congregation, through Sept. 18.

You may give to UMCOR online by credit card or electronic check through First United Methodist Church Richardson.

WE ARE NO LONGER COLLECTING ITEMS FOR HURRICANE VICTIMS.

On Sunday, September 11, 2005, Rev. Rod Dickson-Rishel pastor of Mississippi City UMC in Gulfport MS visited our worship services to talk briefly about his church and congregation.

For information on work trips to the hurricane affected areas see the Mission Opportunities page.
