"Simple Elegance" at FUMC - Hurst

SIMPLE ELEGANCE
program and ticket

Recently The Travelling Toe and several friends attended the annual event of "Simple Elegance" held at the First United Methodist Church - Hurst, Texas.  This event is always scheduled the Monday evening following Thanksgiving.  It showcases tables decorated by members and their friends.  This year there were about 40 tables.  Each table is decorated differently as to how the table hostess desires.  The hostess is responsible for decorating the table, providing a dessert for the 7 guests sitting at her assigned table along with any other tidbits as wanted.  Each ticket costs $10.00 and the funds raised are donated to a different charity.  This year the proceeds benefited the 6:19 Young Adults ministry which serves the rapidly growing 18-25 year age group.  The funds will assist them with their community outreach programs and with attending a conference of other groups within the same age bracket

Due to the number of tables decorated, not all 40 tables are showcased here but only just a few to give you, Dear Readers, an overview of the variety of themes and ideas.  Hope you enjoy seeing these tables as much as we all did!

After dessert, a short devotional was given and a soloist sang seasonal songs.  To end the program we joined our voices in singing "Silent Night".  A lovely way to begin the Christmas Season!
