Our youth are very active in missions, having participated in Teens Make a Difference Day, 30-Hour Famine (which helps raise money to prevent world hunger), raising money for Straight Street Ministries (which helps keep young people safe and off of the street), and more.
Posted on January 22nd, 2010 by tsims
The 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:

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).
