The Renew & Remix Dance Party Extravaganza on Friday, February 10, 2012 was a success on many levels: fun, fellowship, and raising money for Children, Youth, and Adult Missions!
The night began with a re-affirmation of wedding vows led by “Elvis” inserting portions of his song lyrics in the liturgy. After Joe & Norma Adair cut the wedding cake (receiving that honor as they were the longest married couple there – 61 years), “Elvis” sang “Love Me Tender” for the married folk to dance to.
Following that, the evening gained steam as people of all ages hit the dance floor – dancing for about 2 hours!
In all, over $800 was raised – the majority to benefit the 2012 Summer Youth Mission Trips!
What a great Christmas Gift for our kids and kids in need in our community!
On Saturday, December 3, 2011, nineteen children (grades 1-6), one youth, and nine adults – all representing our church – helped make gifts of “love bags” for young people of the Children’s Home and Teen Shelter to carry their belongings. They then delivered these gifts, got a tour of the Children’s Home, and sang a couple of Christmas carols for the children there!
Our Children’s Sunday School worked together today to sell lemonade after the 10:30am Worship Service to raise money for PowerPaks 4 Kids, a project of the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank, that provides food for disadvantaged children in our community on weekends. It cost about $170 / child per year to provide this service.
By raising $742.48, our children provided this service for a little over 4 children! Way to go!
