2021 Children’s Missions

​

​

Here are some of the suggested mission outreaches for 2021 the children of our church can be involved with:

 

  • Law Enforcement dinner – the children will meet, prepare a meal, and deliver it to our local Police and Fire Departments.

  • Cleaning Hawthorne Park

  • Animal Shelter

  • Nursing Home

​

As you can see many opportunities are coming for us to do God’s work in our community and share God’s story with others.  What is your plan for making disciples in 2021?

 

If you have any questions about our Missions Team, please contact either our Missions Chair Judy Reales or Pastor Marcia at (219) 926-1586 or email porterumchurch@gmail.com.

 

Camp

 

Do you know a kid who is ready for a week of fun?  Sign them up for church camp this summer!!  There are camps designed for kids in grades K-12. Children will  participate in action packed adventures including swimming, a climbing wall, archery, a slip ‘n side, and horseback riding.   The camps are not only fun but most importantly, there is a deep focus on Christ through an amazing spiritual program including small groups, outdoor worship, and feature activities.  If you would like more information, please visit the website https://impact2818.org/

SEE YOU FOR VBS 2020!

Thanks for Making 2018 VBS a Success!

​

Rolling River Rampage Vacation Bible School was an awesome experience for the 26 who attended in early June.  The church was transformed into an awesome campground surrounding.  The success of Vacation Bible School is due to the many volunteers who gave freely of their time and talents to share the message from Isaiah 43:2, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”  Our young rafters enjoyed their adventure as they experienced the ride of a lifetime with God! Along the river, they discovered that life with God is an adventure full of wonder and surprise, and that they can trust God to be with them through anything. Through music, science experiments, creative crafts, fun recreation, and memorable Bible stories the kids learned that God is always with them as they ride the rapids of amazing grace!   On the last evening, we invited parents to a closing program.  We had a wonderful crowd of parents who stayed afterward for ice cream and brownies.
