Members of the Exodus Class (April Crutcher, Kevin & DeEdra Folmar, Kenneth & Lindsay Greer, & Shari Schultz) as well as three of their children (Preston Crutcher, Maverick Folmar, & Daniel Schultz) prepared, brought, and served a meal of spaghetti & meat balls, salad, breadsticks, cookies, and dessert bread for about 50 less fortunate people for the Power Meal at Mt. 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.

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!

During this mission project for children in grades K-2nd (completed), the children learned about 1 Corinthians 4:20 (The Kingdom of God is not about talk, but about power) and how we should use our “power” to help others and not just talk about it. Then we went to work at Faith Mission where we cleaned, vacuumed, and polished the chapel there. We also got a tour to see what happens at Faith Mission. For fun, we went bowling at Sheppard AFB! Fifteen children and 3 adults participated in this event.
