- Mission Focus for May
Our mission focus for May is the Central Texas Conference Youth in Mission (CTCYM) Summer Mission Trip, June 16-22. This year, our Adult and Youth Mission Team of over 30 people will be joining Epworth United Methodist Church, First United Methodist Church (FUMC) in Lorena, and FUMC in Joshua as we serve the community of Sapulpa, Oklahoma.
This mission emphasis is not just a student ministry thing, it is something we do together as the whole church, and you can help us with your prayers that week (June 16-22), and with our added expenses of van rentals and gas. We are so blessed to be a part of a church that prays, sends, and equips disciples to serve the community with the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
