Imagination Station Happenings….


Now that the secret is out (Thank you Brandon)!
Did you know that Monday thru Friday we care for 53 children ranging in age from 6 weeks to 6 years, and an additional 40 children who attend preschool? Our children are families from our community as well as a few from our congregation. Needless to say our childcare rooms are full and some work off of a waiting list. Our church is a busy place!!!!!
Our children grow, develop, discover the wonders of the environment, are encouraged to practice decision making, to be taught to respect and value one another and the world, and begin to develop Christian attitudes and responses that will lead to a meaningful relationship with God and God’s world.
We believe that children are God’s people and are created in God’s image. We also believe that there is a need in our community to provide any child with a church-sponsored, Christian, early childhood experience and that no child should be excluded.
Our program strives to provide the following: An atmosphere in which children and teachers live in Christian faith. A community outreach program that will increase contact between the church and the Community. A program in which Christian interpretation underlies learning experiences. A hands-on approach that encourages discovery and creativity.
Check out Imagination Station Happenings in the newsletter monthly. We will share experiences in which the whole child may grow and develop: emotionally, spiritually, socially, mentally and physically.

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. Community Fall Festival is an
