Teaching Children to Help Others
Bethany Children’s Missions, a Children’s Ministry of Bethany UMC, strives to help children in need. Students from Bethany School can participate by donating items for under privileged children to the following missions throughout the 2009 - 2010 school year:
· Undie Sundays – Donate unused socks and underwear to children in need. Took place in September 2009. Bethany children collected 1581 pair of underwear and socks!!
· Libraries of Love - Donate new and gently used hardback books to establish school libraries in Africa. Took place in November 2009. Over 2200 books were collected & money was raised to feed 195 children at these schools for 3 months.
· Health Kits for Haiti - Donate items for health kits to send to victims of the earthquake. Took place in February 2010. Children assembled 300 kits with items that were collected.
· Beans, Beans, Beans Fodd Drive – Donate canned beans to benefit the Hill Country Ministries Food Pantry. Takes place in April 2010.
Introduce your child to the rewarding experience of helping others!
Throughout the school year, your child will bring home information for each mission as it takes place.
