Our First Pentecost Multi-Cultural Fiesta

As Windcrest UMC pursues the enactment of HCI-prompted strategies, we did a new thing! 

Our first ever Pentecost Multi-Cultural Fiesta was held between 4-8 pm on the church grounds and was visible to Walzem Road traffic.  We had face painting, games for children, a big bounce house and a fire truck.  We had between 10-15 first-time guest families register to win a Kindle Fire.  A HUGE POTLUCK featured cuisines from people's ethnic and cultural backgrounds.  Special guests included the 35-40 member traveling choir from Northern Ohio University (Methodist related) who closed out our event with an evening concert.  During the mealtime, we had a Mariachi group play for an hour's worth of South Texas flavorful entertainment.  A Scottish bagpiper also graced our community meal.  Special invitees included families from the Windcrest Day School and Child Development Center and the Northeast Independent School District's English as a Second Language classes, both hosted in our facility.
