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!

Following is a letter from Stephanie Iracheta, FUMC Youth Scholarship recipient from the Lydia Patterson Institute:

“Hey everyone:

I hope you guys are doing great! I just want you to know that I miss you a lot. I miss everyone of you. I learned about each one of you something and guess what? It is still on my heart.

I am so excited for the summer to come, and hang out with all of you again.

Stephanie “weird accent” Iracheta is going back! So take care, and let the Lord to lead everything you do, and you will see, even if you are scared, His power!

I am not gonna lie, this semester has been difficult for me, but it’s a blessing to say that I didn’t have to leave school a year because of money. My dream is growing faster. I want to go to college, and be a doctor, and I think that if the Lord gives you the power to dream big, it’s because you can do big things in life.

Love mucho!

Stephanie “Ch” Iracheta”
