Junior High Mission Trip

Rogers Park

July 13 to 15, 2008

The United Church of Rogers Park is a United Methodist Church at Ashland and Morse in Chicago. The name of the church came years ago when it was a united church having both United Church of Christ and United Methodist pastors. Rogers Park is a diverse community with great need. UCRP serves not only as a church but as a community center for the neighborhood.

This year, the Junior High Mission Trip is to serve the community of UCRP. The trip is open to incoming 7th graders through those going into 9th grade. On Sunday, July 13 we'll ride Metra and the "L", to Rogers Park. We will prepare and serve the Community Feast, the Sunday night meal for the neighborhood. On Monday and Tuesday we will paint and clean part of the church. We will sleep at Evanston FUMC on Sunday and Monday.

Youth Mission Trip

Reelfoot Rural Ministries, Obion, Tennessee

July 20-26, 2008

Reelfoot Rural Ministries is a mission program of the Memphis Conference of The United Methodist Church located in rural, Northwest Tennessee. Our four-county service area includes Lake, Obion and Dyer Counties of Tennessee & Fulton County Kentucky. This rural area surrounding Reelfoot Lake is an area of extreme poverty. Lake County, for instance, has the lowest per capita income of any county in Tennessee. The combined lasting effects of farm mechanization and a lake culture have left economic scars difficult to erase.

We will be working in all the ministries that Reelfoot Ministries is involved in. These include home repair, painting, delivering meals to shut-ins, working in the thrift store and working in the kitchen at the center. Be prepared to work on any of the tasks given to us. Remember that we are there to serve our brothers and sisters.

If you plan to come on this trip, please register by May 11 with a $50 deposit.

Post-High Youth Group

Mission to Nassau

July 27-August 2, 2008

We often think of the Bahamas as a tropical island paradise where everyone is happy and rich. That is simply not true anywhere in the world. Poverty is an everyday reality in Nassau.

In July and August, 2008, the Post-High Youth Group will be conducting a mission trip to Camp Nassau, one of the projects run by Mission Encounter. Their mission will include roofing, repairing and painting homes and churches, as well as getting to know our sisters and brothers in Nassau and those from other parts of the United States.

If you are interested in participating in this unique experience, contact Nick Nicholas.
