What is Lord's Acre?
In the days of western expansion in the United States, it was often the custom of local farmers to donate to their church the harvest – or proceeds from the harvest – of one of their acres of crop land. Thus was born the concept of the Lord's Acre, which we build upon today. It is an amazing event that fosters congregational unity as well as raises funds for our community. We will use the proceeds from the sale of the many handcrafted and donated items given to our Lord's Acre to support organizations in our community as well as missions of our church. Visit The Lord's Acre of First UMC on Saturday, November 4th, 2023 beginning at 9:00am at the Central Social District (215 E. Van Alstyne Parkway; Van Alstyne, TX 75495)
