PALs Place

PALs Place is a respite ministry for people in our community who are challenged by the complications of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. PALs Place meets every Monday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The only exception to that is a Monday when the church office is closed. Caregivers bring their loved ones to the McKinney Christian Ministry Center where they are offered conversation, activities, lunch, exercise, and entertainment. Applications for PALs Participants may be picked up in the church office. For more information, contact care@fumcgt.org or call the church office at 512-863-2370.

PALs Support Group

The PALs Support Group is for caregivers and family members of loved ones diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementia-related illnesses. The support group meets on the second Monday of each month at 10:00 AM (except on holidays when it meets on the second Monday) in the McKinney Christian Ministry Center room 1003. Members of the group are encouraged about their daily situations and good habits of self-care. They are given information that will guide them to make good choices for the care of their loved ones. The group meets during the time of our PALs Ministry, but it is not necessary that participants in the support group have a loved one in our PALs Ministry. or more information, contact care@fumcgt.org or call the church office at 512-863-2370.
