District Camp

McAllen District Youth Camp had 33 kids for the this summer’s camp on June 18 – 21. Our very own Youth Director, Jacob Hunter served as the Dean of the Camp. Six youth from First Brownsville UMC attended camp.

Tools for Youth Mission Trip

The youth are going on a two mission trips this summer. To make this trip possible they need help finding the right tools for the job. So make your way through your garage and dig out those tools that are just sitting there so that they can do some good this summer. Call Jacob at the church office for a complete list of what is still needed.
