Trining Yadav, Methodist Dallas Medical Center Auxilian of the Year!



Trining was given this award for her dedication and service in the past year and during the pandemic. While we all locked-down she was interviewing and video-taping past presidents for the Bicentennial Celebrations of the medical center. She has also been their go-to-tech and handled the zoom meetings, power points and more.

Bravo, Trining!

Lou Leftwich! ooh la la! This United Woman in Faith turned 99 on June 13th. She celebrated with her circle friends that day at lunch and again with her family that evening.

Lou has been a part of UMW / United Women in Faith at Walnut Hill church for a long time. Clearly staying involved with your UWF friends helps keep you young! Keep celebrating, Lou!

Wesley-Rankin Summer Camp

Supplies Needed To Help Kids Learn

At B3X Camp students engage with science, math, reading and the arts to prevent the "summer slide," a common concern when students are unable to retain educational objectives after summer vacation. We believe the best way to learn is with hands-on activities that link components learned in classrooms with tangible, experiential projects.

180 B3X campers will receive an individualized and exciting learning experience to reinforce core learning. Help us fulfill the mission of B3X and donate supplies from our Amazon Wishlist.

N Texas Project Transformation

serves children at 10 sites this summer. Help by providing

• Curriculum supplies still needed for some sites. Amazon Wishlist
• Reading volunteers at several North Texas church sites this summer.
• Evening meals for the hardworking Corps members (college kids) at the PT house near the SMU campus.

Sign-up to volunteer this summer.

DALLAS RESPONDS

MIGRANT WELCOMING CENTER

Loving and caring for our neighbors is a spiritual practice just as important as worship and prayer. -- John Wesley

Caring neighbors like you are needed to respond to the border crisis by serving at the Welcoming Center for legally approved asylum seekers at Oaklawn UMC. Volunteers help serve meals, distribute resources, and other misc needs of the day. English and Spanish speakers are needed to be Travel Assistants coordinating timelines for guests at airports & bus stations, and Travel Escorts to help guests get to airports and bus stations. Volunteer here.
