Project Transformation Dinner |
I want to extend my personal thanks to you all for your support and help with the Project Transformation Dinner June 11! The evening was filled with food and fellowship with college-student interns from around the country, who are staying at SMU this summer to work with Dallas kids of all ages, and to establish lasting partnerships with their churches.
The menu, as you all know, was BBQ with stuffed baked potatoes, salad, and cookies for dessert, and it was a HIT. The interns LOVED the food and send their thanks to all of you for your generosity. The HCUMC volunteers - with the help of several interns - set up 3 buffet lines for all 100 interns, helped serve the food, and then sat to eat and get to know some of the interns, who had just finished their first full week of working with the kids in a summer day camp. They were having a blast! Our own Sarah Jenkins was there, as well as Wendy's son, Nic Snyder.
To our relief, the interns did the dishes! We also left them with dishes of leftover BBQ and salad, which they appreciated.
All non-disposable dishes have been returned to the Covenant Center kitchen; please look for your dish and email me if you can't find it!
Attached are several pictures taken from the evening (with Wendy's iphone). As you can see, the interns were hungry!
Our second (and final) PT dinner for this summer's group of interns is coming up on July 28! Gerald Thompson (

Shalom,
Emily Adhikari and the Missions Committee |
 Project Transformation is a nonprofit, Christian organization affiliated with the United Methodist Church that provides ministry exploration and leadership development opportunities to college-aged young adults, and community oriented programs for children and youth living in low-income neighborhoods of the North Texas Conference.
Our mission is to connect the energy of young adults, the strength of church-supported institutions, and the untapped resources of under served neighborhoods to meet the evolving needs of children and youth. By fulfilling this mission, Project Transformation becomes a bridge builder, connecting young adults to their civic responsibility, their faith and their innate need to serve; connecting the inner city and under served neighborhoods to the surrounding community; and connecting these neighbors to one another and to a vision of vital community life. |

Bishop's Africa University Initiative |
|
 In I Corinthians 3:6, Paul writes: I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. (NRSV) "Africa University has been built (planted), and I am hoping and praying that we, the North Texas Conference, will be Apollos, by watering the plant, but always mindful that it is God who give the growth."
