This Lenten season, we will read many stories of Jesus encountering people who are seeking: a new beginning, a different life, a deeper faith. In these interactions, an unveiling often occurs—assumptions are disrupted, a new perspective is revealed, mystery grows.
Would you consider a gift to help provide a camp experience —Lake Okoboji or Wesley Woods— for those who may not be able to attend a session without some level of financial aid. We believe that every individual that wants to attend camp and experience Christ in a camp environment should have that opportunity. No gift is too big or too small. We encourage you to be the difference for someone by writing a check (Camps in the memo line) to First United Methodist.
Gifts will be shared equally between Iowa UM Camps and First UMC campers. Thank you. Oh, and feel free to sit around the Garden Room campfire and reminisce about your camp days!
