From storytelling and games to crafts and science, it's going to be a week full of faith, fun, and friendship, and we need your help to make it happen! Whether you can assist with decorating beforehand, guide campers through rotations, or donate supplies and treats, there’s a role for everyone in our church family.

Serve with our Children & Youth!

In the UMC Baptismal Covenant, we are challenged to nurture our kids and students in the life of the Church and the Christian faith. Studies show it takes at least 5 adults beyond their parents to help nurture young people into a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. Be a part of passing down faith to the next generation by serving with Children or Youth on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Jesus didn’t please anybody, it seems. He was always breaking the rules and spreading out the table.

~Richard Rohr

Jesus never appears to be pushing what we call social programs. He is much more radical. He calls us to a new social order in which we literally share table differently!

~Richard Rohr

Twenty years ago this spring—May 2005, to be exact—we began our weekly Soup Kitchen. I pray that our enlarged table has fed hearts and minds as well as stomachs. And that those who come to eat and those who come each week to serve, have found the presence of Christ in that room.
