What Does Being a Good Neighbor Look Like?

Mexican Independence Day Celebration

Once again, the Ballet Folklorico of Ft Worth entertained us with the magic of dance on the 15th of September. We learned the difference between flautas and taquitos, and that Hibiscus water is even better when mixed with Piña juice. The Compañeros en Cristo Group outdid themselves this year! Hats off for a job well done!

Una vez más, el Ballet Folklórico de Ft Worth nos entretuvo con la magia de la danza el 15 de septiembre. Aprendimos la diferencia entre flautas y taquitos, y que el agua de Jamaica queda aún major cuando se mezcla con jugo de piña. El Grupo Compañeros en Cristo se superó este año! Me quito el sombrero por el trabajo bien hecho!

Sew Joyful

Sunday, September 17th marked the first class of Sew Joyful, a group to teach sewing to family and friends of FUMC Hurst. At the first class, the eleven students and five instructors learned the basics of the sewing machine and began the arduous task of learning to sew a straight seam. Students and instructors alike marveled at how quickly the hour passed and were thrilled at how much they learned in that short period of time. One of the first projects for this class will be to make small bags to hold hygiene products for women living in shelters. Since we only have five sewing machines, we have reached capacity for this set of classes. However, don’t despair, we’ll be offering a new set of classes in mid October and if there’s enough interest, may offer additional times.

Sew Joyful was funded by money from the Morris DeLaney Walker Award and individual members of United Women in Faith. Please contact Fannette Welton at if you would like more information on how to participate.
