Then, Payton Beggs (a Junior at Old High) took the stage, wowing the honorees with her beautiful voice on old-time and modern country tunes.

Next, awards were given:

Potted Flowers:

Thanks to a generous donation of Tammy & Kristian Kowing of the Exodus Sunday School Class, someone at each table received a potted flower that served as the center piece for each table!

• The FUMC Youth and Jeff Ginn who helped setup, serve food, and cleanup;
• Members of the Young Adult Singles of The Journey Sunday School Class who served drinks and helped cleanup;

Special thanks go to the Young Adult Singles (with a little help from Jr. High Youth) for packing the PowerPaks for the week of October 25.

Likewise, a big thank you goes to the Win-Some Sunday School Class for taking care of the Power Packs for the week of November 1.

A big difference is being made in the lives of these young people by providing food for them on the weekend!

Carolyn & Howard Allison and Mary Jo Dudley of the Win-Some Class

They started at Tanja Haarman’s for appetizers:  Enchilada Meat Balls, Pinwheels, Cookies, and Tortellini!

For the entree, they went to Jonathan Pyles’ and Brandon Vaughns for Brisket, Green Beans, and Mashed Potatoes.  While there, Jonathan also finished his glowing pumpkin!

For dessert and games, they went to Will Barksdale’s and Matt Lowe’s where they had a luscious 4-layer Dessert and Ice Cream.

More importantly, though, in addition to the great food, they also shared great fellowship!

Check out pictures below!

• Meet at 6:15pm at Will & Matt’s (2002 Speedway);
• Carpool to Tanja Haarman’s for the appetizer;
• Carpool to Jonathan Pyles’ and Brandon Vaughn’s for the entree and pumpkin carving; and
• Carpool back to Will Barksdale’s and Matt Lowe’s for the dessert.

Please, invite young adult singles that you know to take part in this Sunday evening study!

That’s how it happened at the Monthly Power Meal at Mt. Calvary United Methodist Church in Wichita Falls, a ministry to provide a hot, nutritious meal for the less fortunate in our community.  These groups served about 30 people who are finding themselves in the midst of hard times.

THANK YOU TO THESE CLASSES FOR THEIR SACRIFICE!

“. . . for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. . . .  Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

Jesus in Matthew 25:35, 40
