EmmaKnightHabitat For Humanity of Wichita Falls does a Collegiate Challenge program where students from colleges around the country come to work here in Wichita Falls.  This week, Air Force Academy Cadets from Colorado Springs and University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point Students were here to serve.

One of the treats they experienced on Thursday, March 25, 2010 was a meal provided by Emma Knight and her Dad, Kyle.  Other than cutting up the meat, Emma essentially did all the cooking (of course under the guidance of Kyle who is teaching her the fine art of cajun cooking) and helped serve jambalaya, green beans, and bread!

THANK YOU TO EMMA AND KYLE FOR YOUR SERVICE AND GENEROSITY!

Calvary United Methodist Church here in Wichita Falls.

For those of you concerned about the young people of our day and age, take comfort in knowing that not only did Preston, Maverick, and Daniel WANT to be there, they worked extremely hard in setting the table and taking drinks and food to the people we served.

Next month, the Open Door Class will serve the meal on December 9.
