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)

Check out pictures below:

Twenty three (23) youth and adults left after 10:30am Worship to go on a Mission Trip to San Marcos, Texas to do repairs on homes of people that live in that area.  As you can see in the picture, they prayed as a group before they left, but we ask that you pray for them as well over this coming week.  They will be returning late on Friday, June 18.

THANK YOU TO OUR YOUTH FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE
IN OUR WORLD!
