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!

Saturday, October 31, 2009 saw 15 young adults dressed for Halloween and sharing a progressive dinner!

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!

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).
