30 Hour Famine is a mission project sponsored by World Vision that raises money for kids that are suffering from hunger and poverty.
For more information about 30-Hour famine, click here! 

We had our 30-Hour Famine experience on May 12th and it was a complete success. We had 3 of our youth participate in a condensed version of the famine this year along with 3 different volunteers over a 12-hour span and had a bunch of fun. We were also able to hit our goal of $1,500 this year; this will feed 38 kids for a month.

A big thank you goes to Tom & Diane Hendricks, Elizabeth Whiting, and Sue Hilgris for their volunteer help for this event; without them, we wouldn’t have been able to do this.

Of course, a great big thank you goes out to all who donated supplies and money, prayed about us, and just sent any and all positive thoughts to us during this time. Thank you so very much. You don’t know how much this means to me.

Apologies for the late posting, but I wanted to bring everyone up-to-speed on what the youth programs will be during the summer:

NO YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL UNTIL SEPTEMBER

CORE is on July 9th, July 23rd, August 6th, and August 23rd from 6pm-8pm. This is open to all 5th-12th graders that want to come for some time of fun, fellowship, and some learning (I know it’s the summer, but learning can happen 24/7 :P).

We are studying Adam Hamilton’s book: Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times; this study contains discussions and different activities that correlate with the different chapters in the book.

Note: you don’t have to be a member of Clio Bethany UMC to join us; this is open to all 5th-12th graders interested in learning about fear and how to overcome it.

If you are interested or having any questions, you can contact the church at 810.686.5151 or contact Marc Middleton (our Youth Director) by email at youth@cliobethany.org or by phone at the office during Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9am-2pm
