Every summer during NSUMC’s Summer Day Camp, we ask camper families to help us help other children. We are asking if you can donate new clothing for the PIMA TRADTIONAL SCHOOL nurse’s office. The clothing requested includes: underwear, leggings, socks and new shoes for ages 5-8.
Pima Traditional School is a public Title One school in south Scottsdale. Their nurse’s office is in need of clothing for families that do not have the ability to fulfill the needs of their students during the school day.
We thank you for sharing your precious children with us this week and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday, June 30th at 10:00am for our wrap-up CELEBRATION!

Every summer during NSUMC’s Summer Day Camp, we ask camper families to help us help other children. We are asking if you can join our campers to make a donation of $10 -OR- two reusable/refillable water bottles to help give a less fortunate child a wonderful camping experience at Mingus Mountain UMC camp in Prescott, AZ. .
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.
UPDATE:
Thank you to our VBS campers and their families for the refillable water bottle donations and the financial contributions to Mingus camper fees.

Every summer during NSUMC’s Summer Day Camp, we ask camper families to help us help other children. This year we asked our camper families to help us support the summer reading program ministries at Wesley Community Center, Golden Gate Community Center, and Amigos Center. These ministries help families get back on their feet. This ministry project allows us to reach out to three of our denomination’s ministry programs. NSUMC and the campers put their faith into action by collecting two children’s book from each camper for these programs. If the family is not able to shop, they made a $10 donation instead. The sweet families at these shelters do not have the financial ability to purchase books for their children and some cannot read or speak English.
Thank you to mission committee member, Mike Hair, for delivering the books and donated funds. Together we were able to offer these sweet families at the shelters over 400 books for their children! We were able to support the basic but oh so very important skill of reading in many homes.
Thank you for supporting the children in our community!

Every summer during NSUMC’s Summer Day Camp, we ask camper families to help us help other children. This year we are asking our camper families to help us support “Save the Family Shelter,” a ministry that helps families get back on their feet. This shelter is an outreach of our denomination’s U.M.O.M (United Methodist Outreach Ministry) organization. NSUMC would like to put our faith into action by collecting a children’s book and earbuds for this project. If your family is not able to shop, we will be grateful for a $10 donation instead. These sweet families at “Save the Family Shelter” do not have the financial ability to purchase books for their children and some cannot read or speak English. The average age at this shelter is 6 years old.
Thank you to Senior Girl Scout Troop #297 for leading an excellent VBS Mission Project and letting us participate in your Silver Award Project! We are so excited that our congregation and campers donated over 500 books, dozens of headsets, earbuds and CD's players and nearly $400 to purchase more! Your leadership shows that there is a reason the scouting community will be honoring all of you young lady's with the Silver Award! We are blessed that you shared this with our community! http://savethefamily.org/ |
VBS Day Camp 2015 Mission Project
Our mission project for this year's vacation Bible school camp is Together We Rise. Together We Rise organization helps children navigate through the foster care system. Our church is so proud to be a part of this project that can impact so many children. We purchased t-shirts from them and wore them during our camp. Additionally, we requested a donation of $10 per each camper so collectively we can purchase bikes for foster care children in the metro Phoenix area. Donations may be made the week of V.B.S. and during the the V.B.S. Celebration worship service.
