It was an honor to host a first-time visitor to Methodist Children’s Home today who actually shares in the heritage of MCH. Pat Garrison of San Antonio is the great-grandson of W.F. Barnett, who served as administrator of MCH from 1919-1933.
Congratulations to the graduates and soon-to-be graduates from our Transition Services program!

Methodist Children’s Home has one of its own on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tenika lived at MCH for four years and graduated from Waco High School in 2001. Today she is a mother of two boys, ages 13 and 4, and spends her nights working as a nurse in the neuro-intensive care unit at a hospital in Houston.
In March 2020, the nation was virtually shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic. As stay-at-home orders were put in place, people altered their way of life. Methodist Children’s Home staff quickly adjusted its services to give many in its care a much-needed feeling of safety and security during an unpredictable time.
Sunshine has served as the flagship publication for MCH since the first issue rolled off the presses in 1920. Through the years, the publication has shared a message of hope to readers through stories and photographs that communicate the life-changing mission of this ministry.
