Coffee Connection
Mission
Texas has a rich military tradition. Texas is home to many military installations and active-duty personnel. It is home to even more ex-military and retired military, and to many, many veterans. Life has been good to many vets, but not to all. There are many vets who are victims of injuries both physical and psychological, victims of alcohol, drugs, debilitating illnesses, and homelessness.
There are several veterans’ homes in the region, also nursing homes which house elderly or disabled vets. Some vets have no support system, very little or nothing to fall back on. There are also homeless vets and there is a system working to find residence for them. These souls have little or nothing in the way of possessions or resources financial or otherwise, they also need help.
The FUMCNB Coffee Connection Men’s Group ministry mission is to provide a quarterly donation of personal hygiene supplies, towels, blankets and treats to the veterans who reside at Gruene Senior Living on Common Street in New Braunfels, to the veterans residing at Eden Heights Residences in the Eden Hill complex, and to others who may be selected in the future.
The goal is to provide some comfort and enjoyment to those individuals to whom we owe so much.
Small Groups
Many Christ-followers enjoy the casual and intimate setting of a small group. Small groups typically meet together for several months or even years, so members get to know one another on a deeper level. Our church offers several small groups with various formats, so if you are interested in knowing more, joining an existing group, or starting your own small group, please contact Karen Andrews.
