After a slow start this year, we received our first shipment of food on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 to provide PowerPaks (weekend food) for less fortunate children at Alamo School.  That evening the Jr. High Bible Study youth packed the 98 packs (a number that will continue to grow over the ensuing weeks).   Many thanks to the Jr. High for getting us started!

Then, on Thursday, October 22, Bonnie Davis (our PowerPak volunteer coordinator) and Courtney Grimes delivered the packs.

The Young Adult Singles will pack next week, but maybe you are interested in volunteering to help pack or deliver the PowerPaks.  If so, fill out the form below, or contact Rev. Sims (940-766-4231, x229 or tsims@fumcwf.org) or Bonnie Davis (767-0648).

We have created a facebook page for our youth. If you have a facebook, all you need to do is search for “FUMC Wichita Falls Youth.” If you become a fan of the page, you can get automatic updates when we add something to our page. Come find out what we’re all about!

The Junior High Youth just started a series called “Revolution,” which will focus on issues common in modern teenage life. We will be working on these topics in both Sunday School and Wednesday Bible Study. The topics are: guilt, worry, anger, doubt, and impact. We will talk about the struggle against a material culture, peer pressure, stereotypes, emotions, and how to wade through these issues. The primary goal is to learn how to protect your Christian identity in the face of modern teen issues. We will finish with the impact your Christian identity can have on the world. Come join us!

All youth in grades 7-8 are invited to take part in the current study of Social Issues during Jr. High Bible Study on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00pm on the 3rd Floor.  It is fun and insightful!
