Middle School Mayhem

JUNE 26-JUNE 30 • NORTH INDY CAMPUS

This week-long day camp gives middle schoolers (5th-8th grade) a chance to form new friendships, serve alongside their peers, learn more about faith in worship times designed specifically for them, and play all kinds of insane games. This year’s theme is Medieval Mayhem! We will talk about what it means to us that Jesus is “king,” debunking the bad narratives we’ve heard of kings and learning about the selflessness of the kingdom Jesus talks about.

Back To School Extravaganza

SUPPLY SORTING JULY 10-17

Each year we partner with Washington Township schools as they kick off a new academic year. We work closely with their teachers and administrators to find the BEST way we can support the school district. This year’s strategy includes: Sorting and packing school supplies for EVERY student in EVERY school in the district. Volunteers will do the sorting at the MSDWT warehouse (not at the church) and supplies will be delivered by school personnel. More information and to donate visit stlukesumc.com/backtoschool.
