Last Sunday, our local “ONEBoca” Volunteer Group and the First United Methodist Church of Boca Raton, FL, hosted “An Opportunity and An Adventure,” an event to highlight the ONE Campaign.
To help raise awareness, we invited members of our FUMC congregation, along with numerous other area faith (10 churches) and social interest groups. Including our almost 30 volunteers, over 140 people attended!
During the event, we enjoyed live music by Roger Petersen (with members of our Praise Team band,) a live dance performance by “The Garment of Praise Dance Ministry,” and a the organization “Taste of Africa” gave out Kenyan coffee and African cakes, cookies and sugar-roasted peanuts!
During the event, we provided exibits space for NothingButNets (www.nothingbutnets.net
It was the first time our group hosted an event like this and it was a great learning experience. “ONEBoca” is a fairly small group thus far, but we hope to grow through good word-of-mouth and be off to a great start in 2008!
