BE A "RANCH-HAND" Fundraiser: May 21 - May 30
Happy 65th Birthday Fundraiser!
1958... before FUMC was gifted The Ranch from several families who bought the Lazy WJ Ranch and turned it into the Methodist Youth Ranch, Inc.; before it was called John Wesley Ranch... many updates and renovations were needed to prepare the Lodge and location for the vision and mission of The Ranch. It has been 65 years since the initial dreams and hopes of what the Ranch could become. Will you help The Ranch lean into its legacy as a steward of creation, a servant in the community, and as a connection to church?
The Ranch-hand Fundraiser began in the early days of The Ranch starting as a pledge drive for $5 a month ($50 in 2023) to maintain and build upon the facilities and the 120 acres.
Please consider becoming a "ranch-hand" by donating, in the spirit of 1958, $5/month (for a total donation of $60). We will gratefully accept any amount you are able to give. Thank you for helping us keep The Ranch alive!
