We are a church of strong faith, fun, fellowship and food! 
We like to get together and pray, eat and have fun! 
In fact one of our groups is an adult group by the name of Friends' P.E.P. Club.  The PEP stands for Pray Eat Play! 
This group meets periodically for fellowship and mission work. 
Last year we sponsored some special Sunday lunches and went to Wesley Woods on Geneva Lake for a lunch
and a tour of the camp grounds.  
A group will attend the play "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" at the Good Company Theater of Chapel on the Hill, Williams Bay, on Sunday, July 25th.
 
Our women's group is United Methodist Women (UMW).  This group meets at 7 PM every other month from April through August on the first Tuesday every other month for 6  months & on Saturday mornings at 10 every other month on a Saturday from Oct. through February.  All women are welcome to join. The next meeting is Aug. 3 at 7 PM.
 
Our Sunday School has 2 separate classes for children. 
The younger children have a class and 7th through 12th have a class.   A Youth Group will start again this fall.
 
Our church newsletter "Catch the Spirit" is published every
4 to 6 weeks with a schedule of activities and reports and pictures of past events.
 
A Mission Trip to Henderson Settlement in Frakes, KY was held June 13 through 18th, 2010.  Several fundraisers were planned to help raise the money to go. Another is planned for June of 2011, would you like to be included?  This will be from June 12 through 18th, 2011.  Please call 815 648-2512 & speak to Pastor Gerardy.
