Apples & Pizza from District Roundup
Big Stone Gap: Twenty-three youth from Hiltons Memorial UMC participated in a St. Andrews Hunger Awareness Weekend near Roanoke, Va., Oct. 1-3. Pastor Will Shewey explains that instead of gleaning potatoes in fields that were flooded by Hurricane Jeanne, the youth worked in apple fields. To raise money for their trip, they sold fried apple pies.
Chattanooga: At Vacation Bible School this summer, kids from Pikeville UMC set out to raise money to provide pizza parties for residents of Holston Home for Children. Leaders made a chart representing enough pizza for eight cottages, each with eight residents. Pikeville children earned extra money at home by doing chores. Whenever they reached a new fundraising level, another pizza slice went on the chart. Missions Director Christine Wotowiec says about 20 kids ultimately earned $220, which will buy pizza at Holston Home's fall festival on Oct. 21.
