Royse City First United Methodist Church was featured recently on NBCDFW Channel 5 in Dallas for donating $10,000 to its local school district to help pay the cost of school lunches for families that had fallen behind in their payments. Pastor Chris Everson said last fall, he asked church members to set aside amounts equal to what they'd spend on Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to contribute to the effort. "By Christmas, the 200-member congregation donated more than $10,000," reported Diana Zoga of NBCDFW Channel 5.
