Foster Care Ministry Informational Meetings
Monday, May 23 at 6:30pm Blackshear Place Baptist Church OR
Wednesday, June 15 at 6:30pm at HMUMC
HMUMC and The United Methodist Children's Home (UMCH) envision a world where every child is raised in a loving, compassionate and nurturing home. 150 foster children a month in Georgia are sleeping in hotel rooms supervised by strangers (a contracted state employee to be specific). The UMCH turns away an average of 30 foster kids a week, all because there are not enough foster homes. Our HMUMC Foster Care Ministry is trying to help.

Vacation
Bible School DONATIONS NEEDED!
HMUMC's Vacation Bible School (VBS) has the reputation of being one of the best summer programs in our area. And to top that off, it is FREE, which means we are able to reach far more children with the message of Christ each and every year. There are a lot of expenses that come along with serving over 600 kids! We are behind in our fundraising compared to past years, and we need your help! We couldn't offer this FREE outreach ministry without your support. Please consider making a donation to help our 2016 VBS campers.

Special Needs Volunteers
The Special Needs Sunday school class supports children with developmental or physical disabilities. You'll find that serving in this classroom will not only be a blessing to our special needs children, but your life will also be blessed by the experience. Email

Registration is open for completed 1st - 9th graders. WinShape Camp for Communities is the ultimate day camp experience. We combine sports, arts, recreation, Bible Study and worship into one incredible week, keeping them busy from 8am to 5pm each day. On top of that, your kids will be guided by some of the most fun and best trained summer staff in the entire country.
