Coffee Connections

Coffee Connection is an informal, low-key men’s group that meets weekly for Christian fellowship. The group meets on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 am at Casa Garcia restaurant for coffee, a good breakfast and enjoyable conversation. The format for the meeting usually follows this pattern: 

The group also has a mission to provide hygiene supplies quarterly to veterans at local senior residence facilities. More recently the group has done small repair and cleanup projects around the church. 

With God as the guide, the Coffee Connection will continue to serve him. 

Mission 

Texas has a rich military tradition. Texas is home to many military installations and active-duty personnel. It is home to even more ex-military and retired military, and to many, many veterans. Life has been good to many vets, but not to all. There are many vets who are victims of injuries both physical and psychological, victims of alcohol, drugs, debilitating illnesses and homelessness. 

There are several senior care facilities in the region which house elderly or disabled vets. Some vets have no support system, and very little or nothing to fall back on. These souls have little or nothing in the way of possessions or resources, financial or otherwise, they need help. 

The FUMCNB Coffee Connection Men’s Group ministry is to provide a quarterly donation of personal hygiene supplies, towels, blankets, and treats to veterans who reside at Gruene Senior Living, New Braunfels Housing Authority, Elan Westpointe, Eden Heights, and others who may be selected in the future. 

The goal is to provide some comfort and enjoyment to those individuals to whom we owe so much. 

On July 25, 2025, the Coffee Connection Men’s Group completed the 14th consecutive quarterly delivery to “our vets”. Our ministry has increased to 24 vets at four different resident or care facilities.
