June 9, 2010 marked a first for the North Texas Annual Conference as, in addition to the normal business of the conference, a mission work day was held to help members of the conference (including our Bishop, District Superintendents, and Extended Cabinet) practice what we preach. FUMC folk participated in all of the projects:
- Cooking Breakfast (Connie Rosenburg & Erica Conner)
- Painting the Riverside Cemetery Fence (Erica Conner, Rev. Pellikan, and children of Adventures in Mission (AIM-1))
- Texas Ramp Project 1 (Rev. Sims)
- Texas Ramp Project 2 (Alan Ballard & former Youth Pastor, Dana Coker)
- Texas Ramp Project 3 (Elizabeth Yeager)
- Imagine No Malaria Car Wash (Youth of FUMC)
In fact Jeff Ginn and our youth spearheaded this event that raised over $300 to help eradicate malaria on the continent of Africa by 2015)

Twelve 3rd-5th graders, one youth helper, three adults, and one little sister, using Romans 14:19 as inspiration, went to Faith Mission to clean, straighten, and organize their Library. In addition, they got a tour of the facilities to see what all they do there!
After that, they came back to the church for pizza and to watch The Chronicles of Narnia. Good stuff!
