I have only been to this store once, but I was amazed at what I saw. There was all kinds of cool unique old windows and doors, hardware, bathroom fixtures, paint wallpaper, etc. I was told that this stuff is donated, some by the big stores (home depot, etc.) other by people redoing their homes or businesses. It's a cool place to check out, but call a head, because they have odd hours.

My husband are of different denominations. We had decided that Methodist was the best compromise for us. We had started to visit several Methodist churches around were we live. They were ok, most of the time people were nice but we felt a little like outsiders at times. I had began to check out the websites (for those that had one) of all the Methodist churches in town. Faith looked like it offered activities that we would enjoy and want to be involved in. After the first visit we were hooked. Faith was friendly but not overly pushy. Everyone has made us feel welcome. We really enjoy the sermons of the pastors. They seem to have a real life application instead of just a history lesson. We also joined a new Sunday School class of Young Married couples. Everybody seems to get along so well. They have activities and groups for all ages. We have really enjoyed attending Faith. We drive across town to go to Faith when there are many churches right around the corner.

The Van Trease PACE theater is a great middle-of-the road theater here in Tulsa. It's not as grand as the PAC downtown, but a lot bigger & better than the Heller Theater.
The thing I like is the type of shows it brings. I recently saw "Camelot" there... every bit as good as the big broadway shows that cost $60 a ticket, but tickets started at just $11.
So for quality theater at a reasonable price, check out what's playing down there.

More
Animal Rescue Foundation "ARF" rescues stray dogs & cats from shelters around town, and puts them in "foster homes" with volunteers until someone wants them.
Adopting a dog from ARF means that you're not only taking in a stray, but you're also taking in a stray with a good temper, who's been living with a foster family.
There are so many more animals in the shelter than ARF can handle... they select the ones that have the best chance of adoption. So their dogs and cats are cute, and the dogs are clearly a certain breed, rarely do they take in a "mutt".
So by adopting from ARF, you can feel good about saving an animal, and still find a dog that's the breed you'd like for your family.

PAWS rescues pets that were on their last day in the animal shelter... and puts them in "foster homes" until they can be adopted.
Since they can't save all the animals, they choose only the ones that have the best chance of being adopted. So their dogs are cute and healthy. And since they're living with a foster family, they're less likely to have gotten sick from another dog.

Tulsa Ballet has some amazing dancers, and the troupe rivals what you'd see in any other big city.
Their season is split between classic ballets (Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, etc), and more modern ones. Unless you like all types of dance, I wouldn't recomend the season tickets... usually people like the classic ballets, and find the other ones rather odd.
One thing I miss is "The Nutcracker"... they changed it! I wish they'd bring back the old version of The Nutcracker.

One thing I have to give Tulsa Opera credit for... they know that the classics are what we love. Most of the ensemble is comprised of local talent, but they usually bring in famous singers to sing the leads.
Their sets are ALWAYS amazing... worth seeing that alone. And their ticket prices are such a wide range... it can fit into almost every budget.

Big Brothers & Sisters is a wonderful organization that serves the needs of at-risk kids growing up in a single parent home.
They serve a vital need in this community. But they seem to be rather disorganized. I participated in "Bowl for Kids Sake"... it was almost humourous how disorganized the planning was.
But despite the problems that the agency has, they fufil a vital role in the community, and do make a difference for hundreds of kids.

Most of us are familiar with the bell ringers collecting money for the Salvation Army around Christmas. Are you aware of all that the Salvation Army does year round? Just to name a few, the Salvation Army helps people pay utility bills, feeds and shelters the homeless, offers rehabilitation to alcoholics and drug addicts, and aids in disaster relief. Right now SA is doing what it can to stop Human Trafficking - a horrifying reality in today's world (Please take the time to read about this on their home page).
Just to give you a little history, the Salvation Army began with a Methodist minister who believed that to feed a person spiritually, you needed to also take care of their emotional and physical needs also.
I had the privilege of working as a social worker for the Salvation Army for two years. When I saw a need for school supplies for the children of the community I was living in, they said "go for it", and sent me to Wal-Mart to purchase the basic supplies the children needed. I was given the responsibility to assist those in need with financial assistance. Not only was I often audited by my supervisors, they were audited by their supervisors and then by outside auditors. When you donate to the Salvation Army, you can be sure that the money is going where you intend it to.
You can go anywhere in the world where there is a need, and you will probably find the Salvation Army doing whatever it can to assist. Please remember this wonderful organization not just at Christmas, but year round.
