372. MissionCast – Hope Swings (Palmyra UMC & Mt. Olivet UMC)

HaitiThe Palmyra and Mt. Olivet United Methodist Churches recently built swing sets for families with children in Washington, Illinois. Last November a devastating tornado ripped through the town. While houses were rebuilt rapidly play equipment for children were not. So three churches in Illinois started the “Hope Swings” project with the goal of building 100 swing sets in 42 days. This MissionCast tells about Missouri’s participation in “Hope Swings.”

371. Lake Creek Camp Meeting – Best of MissionCast

campmeeting

As MissionCast takes a July vacation we are sharing some of the Best of MissionCast. This one comes from September 2010. The Lake Creek Camp meeting is still being held each year. For this year’s schedule contact Linda Page at ldpage@iland.net.

When at the Lake Creek United Methodist Church they say, “We’ve always had campmeeting,” they are not kidding. Are there any other Methodist programs in Missouri that have been running continuously for 176 years? Since 1834 the Lake Creek Campmeeting has been reaching out to their community to provide Bible School for their children and stirring preaching and Bible study for their youth and adults. Brent Hampy and Dan Page who started attending campmeeting as infants share the story of the Lake Creek Campmeeting in this MissionCast. We want to thank Kevin Hoehns for providing us with the video footage of this year’s vacation bible school at campmeeting. For the 2014 campmeeting schedule click here.
