Sharing Christmas along the Border

Thank you, Chapelwood! Through your generosity, we collected 400 Christmas boxes through the Children's Ministry and other Chapelwood members. Half of the boxes were given to Operation Christmas Child and the global ministries of Samaritan's Purse. The other half were delivered to churches along the Texas-Mexico border. Katie Mattingly and Georgia Harmon, OCC team leaders, traveled with Melissa Maher to deliver the boxes and share the joy.

Susan Hellums (First UMC McAllen, TX) and Willie Berman (GBGM Missionary and director of Manos Juntas) work with Methodist Border Friendship Commission. The two groups shared stories of ministry. Here are a couple of videos.


Willie Berman explains how the gifts are organized.


Before the pastors left to return to Reynosa and surrounding areas, they shared a prayer of thanks to Chapelwood.

Hear the Cry

Last Sunday, October 2nd on World Communion Sunday the community of Chapelwood participated in an urban slum experience. The Fellowship Hall was transformed into a section of a global village and persons were invited to become a villager and hear the stories of four persons. Each person faced health challenges as a result of their living environment. The challenges they faced were not because of lack of knowledge, work, desire or commitment...it was because they were born in a challenging environment.

This video is a brief tour through the village. Nate Paulk from SIFAT will walk you through. The invitation is to hear the cry.

Chapelwood then packed UMCOR hygiene kits to be given after natural disasters and World Vision healthcare worker bags given to rural caregivers.

Join the village...

The Power of Mentoring

Mentoring is an incredible way to give back to the community and serve God. Check out these videos about Chapelwood mentors and their impact on SBISD.

The Power of One

A new school year will soon be upon us. As students, educators and administrators prepare to return to the classroom, mentors and volunteers from Chapelwood are preparing to return to the same classroom which is their mission field--the unique place where God is calling them to receive and embody grace.

Check out this video to hear why mentoring makes a difference!
