Wesley-Rankin Summer Camp

Supplies Needed To Help Kids Learn

At B3X Camp students engage with science, math, reading and the arts to prevent the "summer slide," a common concern when students are unable to retain educational objectives after summer vacation. We believe the best way to learn is with hands-on activities that link components learned in classrooms with tangible, experiential projects.

180 B3X campers will receive an individualized and exciting learning experience to reinforce core learning. Help us fulfill the mission of B3X and donate supplies from our Amazon Wishlist.

DALLAS RESPONDS

MIGRANT WELCOMING CENTER

at Oaklawn UMC in Dallas

We are called by God to do good and practice justice, kindness, and love. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, held that loving and caring for our neighbors is a spiritual practice that is just as important as worship and prayer.

Respond to the border crisis by serving at the Welcoming Center for legally approved asylum seekers at Oaklawn UMC. Volunteers will help serve meals, distribute resources, and other misc needs of the day. English and Spanish speakers are needed to be Travel Assistants coordinating timelines for guests at airports & bus stations, and Travel Escorts to help guests get to airports and bus stations. Volunteer here.

Learn more about the Dallas Migrant Center in this Dallas Morning News article.

Our conference United Women in Faith needs to have a professional financial audit done annually. Of course, this expense reduces the funds we have to send to missions.

If you have the skills to do a financial audit would you consider doing it pro bono to help increase our pledge to mission?

Contact Lela Luxen, Treasurer, to discuss.

T-shirts, UWF stickers & pins that you ordered in our e-Store will be ready for pick-up at NTC Annual Conference June 12 & 13.

Look for the UWF table with other Ministry and vendor displays. Ask someone to pick up your order if you won't be there or you can arrange to pick it up in Dallas after AC. Mailing is available for an extra charge.

* Orders from Central TX Conference will be at the UWF table at CTX Annual Conference, June 4 & 5.
