FUMCR will take a team to South Africa May 30 through June 16 to work with the Skuinkloof Primary School that we have been helping with financial support in 2011. We will be building an addition of either a dining room or another classroom onto the school. The school right now houses 85 children from ages 5-13 years old in 3 classrooms. The team will fly to Johannesburg, travel by vans to the rural school, and stay at a FUMCR member's ranch near the school. FUMCR has been working in partnership with Willows Methodist Church in Pretoria and the team will attend church there on the first Sunday of the trip and hopefully will join hands with members of that church in the building project. What a wonderful way to be in ministry and mission to help these children in rural south Africa.
FUMCR prepares a hot dinner meal every other month on the third Friday of that month. The months for 2012 are February, April, June, August, October, and December. Volunteers are needed each time to go to the Oak Cliff residental facility to serve the meal and others to prepare a dish to serve. An estimated 35-45 residents are served each month on our evening to provide the meal. If you would like to prepare a dish or go and help serve, contact Joy Anderson.
The 2011 International Christmas Market was a huge success this year raising over $102,000 for missions during the three day run. The Market attracted several hundred shoppers from the church and community who shopped for shares, fair trade merchandise, coffee and chocolate. In addition to the merchandise sold, the total included $42,530 in shares sold.
The Totebag Ministry is a special ministry of FUMCR to the homeless in the Dallas area. Totebags were handed out to the congregation Sunday, Dec. 4 and returned Dec. 18. 1028 totebags were filled and returned to the church. The totebags are filled with a specific list of toiletries and other items and then they are taken to Dallas area shelters for the homeless where they are handed out to the clients. Totebags were delivered on December 20 to four area shelters: Samaritan Inn in McKinney, Austin Street Shelter, Wayback House, a residental facility for men and women ex-offenders, and the Union Gospel Mission.
