The Stewardship and Finance Committee has encouraged our youth community to learn about the importance of giving and generosity! We believe that giving out of love is part of being a true disciple of Jesus.

Ways to Give: Bring cash to 4:12 or make checks to Marion Methodist with “4:12 Giving Campaign” in the memo line.

Where will the money go? We are partnering with “Proyecto Alas” which is a ministry based in Honduras. This mission focuses on reaching children and young people who live at high social risk and are in danger of becoming homeless. Among other things, these youth are much more likely to suffer from depression, attempt suicide, and become drug users.

And we will be raising funds to provide them with a fridge for their project so they can build a kitchen to serve breakfast and lunch to the kids in their program.

Join us for our first Parent Forum!

What is a Parent Forum? It’s an event/space where parents of teens and preteens can connect with our Youth Pastor and other parents in a similar stage in life. The Parent Forums will focus on specific topics relevant to parenting, faith, and students' struggles.

Come to our first one themed “Helping your child own their faith”

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate in contacting Gonzo at gsantillan@marionmethodist.org

At 4:12 we are joining the congregation and talking about Mental Health starting on February 1^st.

This series addresses mental health from a physical, mental, and spiritual perspective. Mental illnesses are real and daunting, but even in the middle of it, there can be hope.



Our goal for talking about this topic is that students will know they are not alone, there’s always hope in Christ, and that no matter what they are struggling with, they can always speak up and ask for help.

The Registration deadline has been extended until February 12^th.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate in contacting Gonzo at gsantillan@marionmethodist.org
