The Young Adult Singles will share in a Halloween Progressive Dinner on Saturday, October 31, 2009.  They’ll:

• 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.

Contact Troy Sims if you wish to participate!

On Sunday, October 25, 2009, the Young Adult Singles started a new, video-driven study series called NOOMA.  The first session was entitled RAIN, and the theme discussed how we make it through the “rain” (the hard times) of life.  It became clear as the discussion developed that we cannot make it on our own; we need God and God working through others to help us.

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

After a slow start this year, we received our first shipment of food on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 to provide PowerPaks (weekend food) for less fortunate children at Alamo School.  That evening the Jr. High Bible Study youth packed the 98 packs (a number that will continue to grow over the ensuing weeks).   Many thanks to the Jr. High for getting us started!

Then, on Thursday, October 22, Bonnie Davis (our PowerPak volunteer coordinator) and Courtney Grimes delivered the packs.

The Young Adult Singles will pack next week, but maybe you are interested in volunteering to help pack or deliver the PowerPaks.  If so, fill out the form below, or contact Rev. Sims (940-766-4231, x229 or tsims@fumcwf.org) or Bonnie Davis (767-0648).

The Keystone Class provided desserts; the Journey Class provided servants to serve the meal; the Bi-the-Way Class provided the main course and servants to serve the meal.

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
