High School Youth Mission Trip

July 12-21, 2013

We have been accepted for this coming summer!!!

We will be heading to Dickenson County, Virginia!!!

Last year we sent our missionaries out to share the Love of Christ with families in Appalachian Tennessee. Our goal was to help make homes Warmer, Safer and Dryer for families in need Gods Grace, and I think we accomplished our goal! The Rev. Glenn "Tex" Evans started this ministry/mission after seeing for himself the desperate need of the people in rural Appalachia. He declared at that point that he needed missionaries to answer the call to "Help people right where they are, just the way they are". This model of radical love has continued and grown every since. This past summer marked the 27th year of partnership between the CUMC Youth Ministry and Appalachia Service Project. I can honestly say that the 2012 trip was the best ever! Despite the outdoor/cold showers and portion controlled food supply our youth and leaders found Gods Grace and Love in abundance. That said - I think the 2013 trip has a great chance to out shine it!

When we go on mission trips with the intention of giving back to Gods people a portion of what God has already given us, something incredible always happens... We come home so incredibly enriched by God and the people of Appalachia that it is almost impossible to put into words. The Appalachian Service Project, with CUMC, is something that you will have to experience to understand! We look forward to you all joining us in July, 2013!!!

San Marcos River Work Camp

7th & 8th Grade Youth Mission Trip 2012

June 16-22, 2013

For the third straight year our Middle School Youth will have a chance to go out into the mission field to Share the Love of Christ. We work to make homes safer, dryer and more liveable for families in the San Marcos area. Our Middle School students will get to experience working with their hands in mission, worship and fellowship with other youth from all over America. We will also have the chance to float the San Marcos River one afternoon and Spend a day at Schlitterbaun Water Park.

Over the past two years our Mission Teams have removed and replaced sections of exterior wall, front stairs a shed door and fascia. In addition to this work they also scraped off old paint, caulked and re-painted all of the fascia and soffit at two houses as well as remove the carpet and an interior wall at another house. By the end of both trips the construction managers of the San Marcos River Work Camp were begging us to come back the following year because of the quality and quantity of work the we did. We should all be proud of our Middle School Students that have represented CUMC so well as they shared the love of Christ in San Marcos! We should also hold all of our students making the decision to serve either again or for the first time ever this coming summer!

This trip is for middle school youth who have finished the 7th-8th grade by the summer of 2012 and are 12 years of age and older. If you would like more details on the 2013 mission trip please contact Chris Boyle, Director of Youth Ministries at chris@christ4u.org
