30-Hour Famine Coming to FUMC: February 26-27, 2010

Posted on January 22nd, 2010 by tsims

30-hour-famineThe youth will be taking part in our annual 30 Hour Famine event on February 26 & 27th.  This year we are not going to ask for any donations of money.  Instead our focus will be on helping the hungry in Wichita Falls through the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank.

We will be collecting grocery items that we can assemble into Emergency Food Kits.  The assembled kits will then be taken to the food bank where they will be made available to the needy folks in our community.

More info on how YOU can help will be coming soon!

For more information, contact Jeff Ginn:

Fall Carnival of Fun Lived Up to Its Name!

Posted on October 21st, 2009 by tsims

Children of all ages had a BLAST by sharing in trunk-or-treating, games, food, fellowship, and more at this fun “Halloween-ish” event on October 18, 2009. Witches, superheroes, fantastic creatures, and more came and participated in the fun games and activities.

We also had a competition for the trunk-or-treating, which the Young Adult Singles group won with their submission of a beach scene.

Thank you to all who made this event a success!
