Imagination Station Happenings

Summer is off to a great start. The children have been enjoying the fun filled summer schedule: Movement Monday- Outside running, jumping   and skipping. Tidal Wave Tuesday- Play day with water, sprinklers, water balloons etc… Worship Wednesday- Mr. Brandon teaches a worship lesson thru gardening. The children also get to sample for snack the things they grown in the worship garden. Trekking Thursday- We like to walk to Southport Park, Dairy Queen, and even Long’s Free Wheelin Friday- The back parking lot transforms into a super highway and the children ride bikes, scooters etc… for a fun filled day.

We are VERY appreciative of those folks that have helped out. Have a Happy 4th ...

A Letter From Pastor Mark-December

Dear Friends, Wow!   It is hard to believe that we have already moved into the Christmas season.    I have been seeing signs of Christmas in stores for weeks, but I try to ignore all that until after   Thanksgiving. With Christmas right around the corner, I want to lift up some of the ways we will be       celebrating the birth of Christ at Southport United Methodist Church: ·   Operation Christmas Transformation:   This is an opportunity to spend less on our celebrations of Christmas and give a birthday present to Jesus using the money we saved by cutting back.   You can make a contribution to this fund or you can buy picture poinsettias for $10 each in honor or memory of a loved one, and the money will go to the Operation Christmas Fund.   All proceeds will be divided equally between the Pastor’s Benevolent Fund to help those in financial need and to the Pastor’s Ministry Fund to help with outreach ministr...
