First Frisco awarded certification as "Welcoming Congregation"

"Welcoming Congregations" are a select group of United Methodist congregations nationwide that meets criteria including embracing newcomers and providing opportunities in discipleship. The recognition program is a part of a larger effort launched in late 2000 by UMCom., the denomination's communications agency, to use modern technology and the common language of television to spread the Good News of Christ to a world in need.

For the past 8 years, "Open hearts, Open minds, Open doors" has been the theme of the denomination supported with a series of national cable TV advertising, supplemented by regional and local church participation. The overall aim of the effort is to invite people, to enter into connection with the Christian community as they seek meaning and purpose in their lives. The new campaign, Rethink Church, seeks to capitalize on the previous campaign, targeting 18-34 year olds and inviting churches to think of the motto as a verb, not just an adjective as in: "Together we can. Open hearts, Open minds, and Open doors".

Prayer Blanket Ministry
As you look around the Gathering Area on Sunday mornings, you see several blankets that have been requested by individuals or for an individual who is facing a serious illness or personal crisis in their life. Prayers may be offered at any time, before or after Worship Services or any other time you are in the building. Please take a moment to stand in front of the blanket, say a prayer and then tie a knot in one of the strands. Each knot represents a prayer for the person. When all strands have been knotted, the blanket is given to the person. Forms to request a prayer blanket can be found in the church office, at the Welcome Center, or on this website under "Forms".
