Current Responses
Conroe/Huntsville TX, Spring 2024
The spring of 2024 brought torrential rains, devastating floods, and tornadoes to many areas of Texas. FUMC Georgetown is responding with recovery teams in the Conroe/Huntsville area of east Texas. In June of 2024, First United Methodist Church Georgetown dispatched two teams of volunteers to assist homeowners with cleanup and to begin recovery efforts where possible. We also hope to send volunteers to Temple to help with cleanup there.
