  Quilters featured in Dallas Morning News

The August 3rd Neighbors GO Garland/Mesquite section of the Dallas Morning News featured an article about the Quilters ministry group that meets here on Wednesday mornings at FCC Garland.  The article quotes member Eva Schneeberg and highlights the group's work on quilts donated to the Veterans Administration and the local hospital.  We are so proud that our Quilters group represents the church and the love of Christ in such a special way!  

 

Congratulations to Stan McGill

Our very own choir director, Stan McGill, received the Texas Choral Excellence Award by the Texas Choral Directors Association.  The award represents one of the highest honors a state musician can receive in the music field and is a formal acknowledgement of a lifelong legacy of excellence.  Great job, Stan!
