Chili Cook-Off Raises $3,507 for Youth Missions

Mar 19

Thanks to your overwhelming support, this year's Annual Chili Cook-Off and Silent Auction raised an amazing $3,507.39 for our FUMC Denton Youth!

This beloved tradition continues to bring out the best in our church family — from the friendly competition in the chili pots to the lively bidding at the silent auction. Every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting our youth mission trips, helping our young people grow in faith and service.

A big congratulations to our Best Chili winners:

🥇 1st Place — Dalton Gregory

🥈 2nd Place — Brandy Gibson

🥉 3rd Place — Emily Mooney

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and stirred the pot—literally and figuratively! Your generosity makes these life-changing experiences possible for our youth. We are so grateful for you!
