The First United Methodist Church of Downers Grove is offering a summer camp experience for children and youth from June 25 to 29, 2012.
Camp offers children and youth the opportunity for fellowship with other children. It offers youth and adults an experience of God’s creation while exploring nature. It offers everyone a chance to experience Christian community and develop skills for Christian living.
This year, the theme of the camp is The Secrets of the Kingdom. Jesus used stories, called parables, to teach his disciples—and us—about what it means to live in God’s kingdom. In Secrets of the Kingdom, campers look to the Master Storyteller, Jesus, to discover four different parables and their meanings for our lives.
Secret 1: We are the Soil (Mark 4:1-9, 4:13-20)
Secret 2: We Can Ask Boldly (Luke 11:5-10)
Secret 3-God is Generous (Matthew 20:1-16)
Secret 4-God Treasures Us (Luke 15:1-10)
Camp will be held at Wesley Woods Conference Center in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Wesley Woods is owned and operated by the Northern Illinois Conference.
Location:
Wesley Woods Conference Center, Williams Bay, Wisconsin
Date:
Monday, June 25, 2012 - 8:00am to Friday, June 29, 2012 - 12:00pm

On Rally Day, September 11, we invite all families to register for Sunday School over the coming year. We will have tables set up specially to receive registration cards and to direct you to the correct locations for your children. Every family needs to register annually; this is how we collect emergency contacts and allergy information for each child.
Yellow registration cards have been sent out to families who have already registered. If you would like to receive one, please contact the church office.
At noon, everyone is invited to the gym to enjoy lunch together. The menu will be hot dogs, fries, fruit, cookies, and lemonade. Cost will be $4/adult and $2/child (12 and under). Please sign up in the Parlor or by contacting the church office by September 4th.
The Children and Family Work Area has reserved the Tivoli Movie Theater for our Rally Day celebration. Everyone that attends church and/or Sunday School on Rally Day, September 11th, will receive a ticket to the movie Despicable Me that will be shown at 1:30pm.
This movie is about a guy who wants to be the greatest villain of all time but in the process discovers a greater purpose for his life. In the words of the United Methodist Bishop, Rev. Sharon Rader, "God's surprises are better than our best laid plans."
The doors open at the Tivoli at 1:00pm. The concession stand will be open for anyone wanting to purchase snacks.
Please invite your friends and neighbors to come to church in the morning and to the movie in the afternoon!
