~Missions

Memorial United Methodist Church has been sending teens and adults on mission trips around the world for many years. The missionaries have touched the lives of many through the Gospel, hard work and love.
The teens work for their trips, along with doing fund raisers at the church. They are very resourceful in their quest to go on a Mission.

Some of the ways that our youth have raised the money to go on these trips have been: working at jobs, hot dog lunches, church dinners, car washes, garage sales, computer raffle, rummage sales, sold ducks and bunnies for Easter, built squirrel feeders to sell, made soap to sell, collected 2000# of metal to recycle along with collecting cans. They have also had donations from local businesses.
