Life Transformation Group
Life Transformation Group "Iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another."
Proverbs 27:17

A Life Transformation Group (LTG) is a simple way to release the most essential elements of a vital spiritual walk to people who need Jesus to change their lives from the inside out.
It is a grassroots tool for growth which encourages and supports people to follow Christ by fueling internal motivation rather than applying external pressures and ploys. This tool empowers the common Christian to accomplish the uncommon work of reproducing spiritual disciples who can in turn reproduce others.

The Peaceful Quilters meet monthly. We make quilts for babies baptized here at FUMC. We also make and provide lap quilts for the Kairos Ministry, shut-ins, and those in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Even if you do not quilt we would love to have you join us. We need ladies to wash, iron, cut, and sort fabric. If you want to learn to quilt, we'll teach you.

Meals to "SWEET DREAMS SHELTER" for women and children in Baton Rouge.

Are you looking for and opportunity to help those in need in our area? FUMC Gonzales is beginning our 11th year of providing and evening meal for 30-35 hungry women and their children in a shelter at the St. Vincent de Paul campus, on Convention Street in downtown Baton Rouge. Our regular assigned meal is at 6pm on the fourth Saturday of every month.



We need 2 or 3 people each month who are willing to prepare food, then drive together to the shelter to deliver and serve the food there. This is a good chance to do a family ministry with our children, as well as individually. If you can help with either preparing the food, or delivering it to the shelter, please contact Kaye Herwia at 644-7923 or tahertwig@eatel.net.
