Kum Doubles
Welcome
The Kum Doubles class is a fellowship of couples and singles
in their 50s and beyond who seek
a closer relationship with God through biblically-centered
lessons in a discussion setting. The class fellowship
extends beyond the bounds of the church grounds. We have monthly
activities and parties. We enjoy dining together at area
restaurants, attending Southern Gospel musical events and meeting at
members homes. We have a reputation for boisterous and hilarious parties
especially at Christmas. Great food, great fellowship and good
serious fun making joyful noise.
Classmates are friends of the closest sort - who can be
counted on in times of need; when you're hurting, when a big job
needs to be done and you can't get it done alone, at your
hospital bed, beside you sharing your joys and your sorrows. Most of all, we, the members of the
Kum Doubles class, desire to serve and please God in all we do,
both at church and in our daily living.

Our Cookbook
 Taste
of Heaven Cookbook - members of our class have pooled
their secret and sacred family recipes handed down for
generations and recorded them in the
Kum Doubles "Taste of Heaven"
cookbook. The cookbook is on sale and all proceeds go
to support our church's missions. Copies will be on sale at the Lord's Acre
festivities and in the church office. These are collector's
items since the recipes are all one of a kind and only a few
books are left.
Cost is $10.00. Get your copy while you still can!
The recipes are superb and the presentation is top notch.
Thanks to Jim and Judy Dayton and Windell Bagett for their
hard work and God-given talent in putting this masterpiece
together for all to enjoy! Who knows, there may be a few
copies left! Check in the church office or with a Kum
Doubles class member for these collectors
items.
Focus
Our weekly classes are biblically-centered lessons in a discussion
setting. The class focuses on service projects throughout the year
and missions support. We help support many of FUMC's
missionaries and their families and other local service
needs through monetary donations
from our weekly giving, special collections and fund raising
projects.

she can work her job 3 AM - 3 PM as a Supervisor.
John has quite a sense of humor. Gail LOVES Starbucks so
he had his photo taken in a Starbucks with an AK rifle slung
over his shoulder just for her. He jokingly told her since
he knew the prices were a "hold up", he took his rifle.
Please write to our adopted soldiers. Remember their families
and family members on holidays, on special occasions or when God
moves your spirit. See Marni, Doug or Gayle for the family
addresses. Thanks
Note From Danny Parsons
I cannot begin to express the gratitude our family has
for all of you who have been with us during Carolyn's
battle. There is not enough room on this website to list
those who have supported and loved us through prayer,
thoughts, deeds and love. Please know that we thank you from
the deepest part of our hearts.
Some have asked how they may honor Carolyn. You have done
so with your love, strength and prayers. However, if you
wish to honor Carolyn we would be humbled by gifts to:
First United Methodist Church Building Fund
211 W. Third St.
Irving, Texas 75060
Or the purchase of a memorial brick in memory for her
from you by contacting the church office at 972-253-3531.
Donation to Crohn's and Colitis Foundation
www.ccfa.org
12801 N. Central Expressway
Dallas, Texas 75243
Without God's caring people on this journey with us and
his constant presence throughout this challenge, we could
not have made it through this. Again, thank you from the
bottom of my heart.
The service was just as Carolyn insisted, a celebration.
She was honored and I know she was present and smiling as
large as her picture. May God bless each of you as he has
us.
