College Ministry
Our church’s college ministry supports our own college students with cards, care packages, and financial assistance for Wesley Foundation mission trips. If you are a college student or the parent of a college student please e-mail the following info to our church’s college coordinator at janisslade@aol.com by September 1st of each year: Student’s Name, College Attending, E-mail Address, and the Student’s Mailing Address while at school. When we have this information we can keep in contact with cards and care packages. Contact the church office if you would like to receive a newsletter. Also contact the office if you have any news about a college student, including graduation info.
We also encourage our graduating High School Seniors to become involved in the Wesley Foundation which is the United Methodist Campus Ministry, while they are at college. If they will let us know the college they will be attending as soon as possible we will send their name and home address to the Wesley Campus Minister on that campus so they can receive information about fall Wesley activities before school starts.
Our church supports the local college ministries by taking lunches, providing the messages, and participating in their annual fundraiser, the Sampling Supper. This fun event will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 6 p.m. in our CLC. There will be delicious food, a silent auction, and entertainment. Tickets will be $10 for adults and $5 for students of all ages. Children age 4 and younger are free. Beginning January 1st all Wesley board members will begin collecting new and “nearly new” items for the silent auction.
