WFAA After the Bell: Project Transformation brings vitality to aging congregration

DALLAS - Inside pastor Annelda Crawford's church hall, children are always welcome at "Project Transformation."

The after-school program has brought a renewed energy to Pleasant Mound United Methodist Church. The congregation, which has been around since the late 1800s, has members with an average age of 79 to 85.

"With the children here, it just brings a new vitality," Crawford said. "We hear their voices in the halls and the running in the yard and it just gives us a renewed vision of our future."
