Life at First Coppell

The Cookie Jamboree began as a fund raiser for United Methodist Women in 1986. It is always held in December in preparation for Christmas. Being able to select from dozens of different types of cookies has always been the most fun part. Families buy for holiday entertaining, neighborhood gift-giving and personal nibbling! Proceeds go to different missions each year chosen by members of UMW. This year the funds raised will be used to support Wesley Rankin Center and Dallas Bethlehem Center. 

YOU can help by baking cookies and donating them for the sale. Bring your labeled cookies/sweets in a foil lined box or pan to the church on Saturday, December 3 between 11 am and 1 pm (enter at the Chapel door) or Sunday, December 4 by 8:30 am. Please leave them in Room 301 off Wesley Hall. Please note on your label if there are nuts.

The sale is on Sunday, December 4 from 9-11 am (or until cookies run out) in Wesley Hall and the Ministry Center. You purchase a box for $10 and then fill it with your favorites.

It’s that wonderful time of year again and there is no better way to start your holiday morning then being of service to the homeless. We are looking for approximately 25 volunteers to make 2 casseroles each to help feed the clients at the Austin Street Center on Christmas morning. Casseroles will need to be at the church hot and ready to serve at 6 am Christmas morning. Pans and recipe will be provided. Each recipe makes 2 pans. Pans and lids will be handed out after both services on Sunday, December 11 and Sunday, December 18 if needed.  Pans can be delivered to you if you are not attending service in person. 

Click here to signup to provide casseroles.

There also is a second signup genius for individuals that would like to serve and sing at the shelter Christmas morning.   Please sign up if you are wanting to serve so we can make sure we have enough people to serve and sing!
