AUGUST NEWS
Music Camp
We had a wonderful time with over 75 children, youth and adults working hard for a week on Hans Bronson’s Gold Medal Mission. They rehearsed and rehearsed and rehearsed until it was perfect. During all that rehearsal they even had time to serve others by bringing in umbrellas and ponchos as a mission project for the Sulzbacher Center. Their hard work paid off on July 20th with a wonderful performance. Great job to all!
Warren Willis Summer Camp
What a week! All 32 children, youth and adults had a great time in Leesburg. They were able to do many different activities including swimming, crafts, work on a challenging ropes and obstacle course, and make new friendships. Best of all, they all came back with a deeper love and understanding of how great God’s presence is in our lives. Thank you MUMC for your support and your prayers. Can’t wait till next year!
Christmas in July
On July 20 we had a special Kid’s Praise and Worship service at KIDS G.I.G. for K-5th grade. Our wonderful children worked on serving others. They collected an amazing number of ponchos and umbrellas for less fortunate children and families at the Sulzbacher Center. We are very proud of how well the children understood the importance of reaching out to those in need. Great job!
