The youth would like to thank everyone for making Cooking Wonderland a great success this year. All told, the youth made right at $1,400! We would like to thank everyone who came and bought cookies from us, everyone who spent their time baking cookies for us, and everyone who helped us make the event wonderful. We would specifically like to thank: Carolyn Gray for doing a wonderful job decorating for the event, Sandra Gage for teaching us how to run Cookie Wonderland, Debra Dezendorf for helping to pull it all off, and Mr. Jamie Dunn for the loan of the scale.
The youth will have their annual Christmas Party Sunday, January 3 at David and Mandi’s house. Please bring a $10 gift (non gender specific) to exchange.
Wednesday nights are busy nights at FUMC and September 9 was no exception. Choir practice and youth activities occurred after TNT. September 9 was the first night of the new school year for Terrific Nights Together, our weekly fellowship meal, and a nice crowd enjoyed the spaghetti, salad, bread, and desserts (especially the ice cream). The Women’s Bible Group also began a new study. Following the meal, the Faith Builders’ team met to plan the next project for October 17. Faith Builders will be working on their 2nd project of basic repairs on homes for people who may need some help. Following are some pictures from the evening:
Crank up your ice cream freezers, purchase your favorite flavor, or bake your favorite dessert for the annual Ice Cream Social on August 30.
