The Children’s & Adult Sunday School Classes of FUMC are each taking part in a food drive to benefit Interfaith Ministries. The Adults began a competition among classes on Sunday, October 31, 2010. Here are the current stats:
The first number is the number of items collected. The second number is “pro-rated” based on the number of members in the respective class. Check back each week to see how each class is doing.
The Children begin their drive on November 7, 2010, and each week they are looking for different items that are of special need by Interfaith. Here is what children should bring each week:
- November 7: Pork ‘n’ Beans
- November 14: Peanut Butter
- November 21: Jelly
- November 28: Canned Fruit
For more about the Adult Food Drive, contact Rev. Troy Sims (tsims@fumcwf.org or 940-766-4231, x229).
For more about the Children’s Food Drive, contact Rev. Lydia Pellikan (lpellikan@fumcwf.org or 940-766-4231, x272).

Children in United Methodist Churches raise money to send to the United Methodist Children’s Fund for Christian Mission, which supports missions that help children. Each year four missions are selected (two in the U.S. and two in other countries) to receive the funding. The money collected is divided equally among the four mission sites. One year, over $100,000.00 was raised by children for this fund.
In 2010 the four mission sites chosen for the UM Children’s Fund are McCurdy School in Espanola, New Mexico; Partnership in Treatment, in Anchorage, Alaska; Kiev Street Children Ministry, Kiev, Ukraine; and Sudan Shalom Ministry, South Sudan.
In July, our K-5th grade Sunday School Classes learned about each of these mission projects and what they do. Then, in August the children studied the story of Jesus feeding more than 5000 people with two fish and five barley loaves given by a young boy. The children learned that God can take our small gift and perform miracles!
In response, through our Sunday School offering in June, July, and August, our children collected $60.00 to support the United Methodist Children’s Fund for Christian Mission. Way to go!
