During  this past month, when the theme of the weekly sermons was Life Is Messy, the young people held a “messy” party. Looks like they had a good time! (Click on the photos to enlarge them.)

 

 

You probably remember that Morgan Hunsacker was collecting contributions for a mission trip to Uganda this spring. The Mission group is FOYA Uganda ……this is an organization based in Westerville, Ohio that sends students and university professors and others in the community on a month long trip to Uganda to work with local project partners and the community to improve literacy, education, health and wellness, gender equity and community engagement in rural areas of Uganda. Morgan’s group raised money for vaccines for the children an

 

d collected over 3500 books for the new Rainbow Library. They were involved in health check-ups, helped to de-worm the children in the villages and painted and built shelving for the new books that they brought. They visited several villages over the month, working wherever needed in the clinics and schools. It was a life changing experience for all that attended. While in Uganda the group also got to go on safari and attend a Uganda soccer game against Madagascar.

 

The First United Methodist Church of Springboro was responsible for 1000 of the books that were donated on this trip and for over $1000.00 dollars of medical supplies that were divided among the villages that Morgan visited. Morgan would like to thank everyone in the congregation for their generous donations.  She feels truly blessed to be a part of such a giving church community.
