STUDENT MINISTRY


If you have a student grades 6th through 12th and they have not been confirmed (i.e., “joined the church”), you should have received a letter about a meeting on April 8th at 12:45 p.m.  This meeting will be an organizational meeting for an upcoming Confirmation class.  Contact the church office for more information.

There will be NO evening Youth Group on Sunday April 1st.  This is Easter and should be a day for families.

Want to know more about Student Ministry and what is coming up in the near future (including summer and fall teaching plans for Sunday mornings), stop by the Student Ministry table in the Gathering Place on Sundays and Thursdays April 15-19.

Mark your calendar for Monday June 25th through Sunday July 1st.  We are planning a mission trip to Camp Moneto, a United Methodist Church camp.  We plan to do some work on the camp grounds as well as treat this as a retreat/camp for the students.  We hope that students and parents can attend at least part of the time.  Since this mission trip will be to Nashville Indiana, there are more opportunities to participate just part of the time.  You can get more information at the Student Ministry  table on 4/8 and 4/12, 4/15 and 4/19.



MISSION TRIP – CAMP MONETO, NASHVILLE IN

Mark your calendar for Monday June 25 through Sunday July 1.  We are planning a mission trip to Camp Moneto, a United Methodist Church camp.  We plan to do some work on the camp grounds as well as treat this as an opportunity to grow in our discipleship of Jesus.  Since Camp Moneto is located in Nashville IN, it will be easy for those that may not be able to spend the entire week to participate part of the time.  We will have more information about this mission and discipleship opportunity at the Student Ministry table on April 8 and April 12, April 15 and 19.  Families are encouraged to attend together.

ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

You may or may not know that in the past, Southport United Methodist Church has been able to offer a small scholarship to assist with college expenses.   The scholarship was made possible by some past members of SUMC:   Mary & Riley Lynch. We haven’t been able to offer the scholarship for a few years but are able to do so again. If you are interested or want more information, please contact Pastor Doug in the church office. Application deadline is July 15th, 2019.   A decision will be made at that time so there can be no applications accepted after that date.

A Letter from Pastor Chris

Dear Friends,            I am excited about the many things that are happening at Southport UMC this month.   There are many things going on at Southport UMC as we continue in ministry to the Southside of Indianapolis, but I would like to highlight a few opportunities, as well as share some information about changes that are coming this month. First of all, because of storm damage we are getting a new roof. This work will begin after September 8 and will take around a week to complete (weather permitting). Secondly, we will begin signups for Journey Groups this month, and I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to grow in your faith through a small group. Finally, at the end of this month we have a great opportunity to share with our neighbors through the Community Fall Festival.   Over the last couple of months we have been learning in worship that we need to share our faith story, and we can only do this through building relationships.
