In June 2024 at Ingleside UMC, a caring group of adults and youth will provide a week long camp where kids, PreK to 5th grade, will participated in "Marketplace 29AD" VBS Camp. Lots of fun happens at the marketplace shops and activities of Bible storytelling, drama, music, games, crafts, and missions for others. The camp will be filled with lots of ways we can experience being a Christian while sharing in some awesome fun. We use our afternoons to participate in demonstrations, have presentations, learn to play the bells, and make things to express our love and dedication to God and work for the good of others in faithful service. We can't wait to find out about some of the missions we will be able to share. We are setting our registration at 48 kids and we can't wait for this VBS Camp to get here! More info call our office 344-9100.
Ingleside UMC tries to make sure children (as many as 30) in 4 families from our neighborhood have Christmas through God's Gifts. Names of families with children living in poverty are collected and the parent, grandparent, or guardian is contacted for information about the children. Each child receives a pair of pants, a shirt, a jacket, a pair of shoes, and a toy that fits the child's interests. Members select tags that identify the item/size or toy to be purchased, then wrap and deliver them to the church. Donated cash is used to purchase Walmart gift cards or pay utilities. We feel very blessed to have been able to continue this mission program in the past. This year we are expanding our program to include some adults in our community as that need has been made known. Contact our office at 344-9100 if you need a tag.
Our campers will actively show their love on at least 3 afternoons during our camp this year. We hope to again sing and play bells at two Healthcare Centers near the church where the kids have the opportunity to demonstrate their love through songs and the playing of handbells, as well as visiting with these residents and giving them a token of our love. As the week-long camp progresses we will follow the leading of our mission coordinator.
Our children's missions this year will be to help others through putting together "My Life Book" for children in the foster care system that are distributed by the Braveheart organization. If you would like to help just call our office at 344-9100.
"When asked why we help others... we answer - because we can." John Wesley He also said we must 'do all the good we can, by all the means we can, in all the ways we can, in all the places we can, at all the times we can, to all the people we can, as long as we ever can.'
