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)

Did you know?

Habitat 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!

Wednesday, March 24, 2010, the Living the Questions Sunday School Class and their children provided and served a meal for the less fortunate of our community at Mt. Calvary United Methodist’s Power Meal.  Over forty people were served.

Many thanks to all of the participants that made this event a success:

• Jeff & Lauri Cooper (class presidents);
• Matt & Kim English and Kate;
• Chad & Jennifer Hillberg and Jack & Kara;
• Jennifer Holmes and James & Joseph Scales;
• Troy Sims; and
• Elizabeth Yeager.
