Methodists have also been known for starting and support school institutions for both children and postgraduate learning. Learning, and supporting a good education for all people, is a core belief and one that reminds us of the amazing and awesome minds the Lord has given us, and how important it is that we use our intellect as we seek to grow in our relationship with God.
For years churches all over the world have noticed that public schools and public-school teachers are a foundation for the community. They are filled with amazing people and resources but that they have limitations and needs. For about 4 years we have been partnering with Yulee Primary School to support the needs of their teachers and school. Yulee Primary is in the heart of Yulee and serves children from PreK – 2nd grade and has just under 1,000 students enrolled. The families of Yulee are hardworking and involved and we get to partner with them as they work together to raise their children.
Over the last four years we have provided school supplies needed for YPS, helped with campus beautification, served meals to teachers, help with appreciation events, and much more. This year we would like to see people volunteering in the classroom, reading to students, helping the teachers with their needs, serving in the library, and simply embodying love with their service. If this is something you are interested in please go to https://www.nassau.k12.fl.us/Domain/1135 and fill out the Nassau County volunteer application (make sure to select Yulee Primary) and contact Pastor Carrie.
My form is already filled out and I can’t wait to serve again this year!
Blessings!
