Church Birthday/Anniversary Bank: On the first Sunday of each month anyone celebrating a birthday or
anniversary that month is invited to contribute to the church bank at the front of the sanctuary while the congregation sings “Happy Birthday.” Proceeds are used
to buy clothing and Christmas presents for children identified by Union and Supply elementary schools. Contact the church office at 754-4840 to make sure your
family’s birthdays and anniversaries are on the calendar.
Puppet Evangelism: Children
from our church and Seaside United Methodist Church periodically present the gospel message through puppets at local churches and to other organizations.

FOOD events, and ministries such as
emergency aid to transients and others in need.
Food Pantry: We house the
SBIC’s Shallotte Area Food Pantry and rotate with several other local churches in stocking and staffing. Pantry hours are 10 a.m. to 12 noon each Saturday.
Literacy: Working with
Brunswick Community College, Camp UMC houses a daytime GED class that allows participants to work toward the equivalent of a high school diploma. We also

Lifeline Pregnancy Center:
Our baby shower provides money and baby necessities to this ministry to unwed mothers.
Conference and District Missions:

Home for Children, Wilmington District; Project AGAPE in Armenia; Ganta Mission in Liberia, with Revs. Herbert and Mary Zigbuo, missionaries; and Pat and Walt
Ebert, missionaries currently assigned to Redbird Mission, Kentucky. We also provide financial support to a lesser extent to Robeson County Church & Community
