VBS Mission Project
Thank you to our campers and congregation for helping our VBS Mission project! We collected over 5 dozen refillable water bottles and money to subsize camper scholarships. All of these items will be sent to Mingus Mountain Camp.
Mingus Mountain Camp and Renewal Center is one of the United Methodist camps in Arizona. It is located near Prescott, Arizona. Surrounded by Prescott National Forest and at an elevation of 7,600 feet, the camp offers groups an unforgettable mountaintop experience. The monetary donation will help subsidize camper scholarships for children who cannot afford this experience. The sweet children do not have the financial ability to attend these camps and enjoy uniquely immersive opportunities to experience Christian community and spiritual growth in a mountain top setting.
