Gary UMC raising funds for Texas flood victims through bracelet sales

This weekend, families from Gary United Methodist Church in Wheaton will drive to Pine Lake Camp in Westfield, Wisconsin for a time growing closer to God and each other through nature, worship and play.

What’s different this year — they will also be making bracelets to raise money for Texas flooding victims.

You can purchase a bracelet the morning of Sunday, July 27, at the Wheaton church or donate through garychurch.org/give.

Proceeds will go to organizations like First United Methodist Church of Kerrville, Texas, which is providing shelter to those in need. Suggested donation of $5 per “Kerr County” bracelet.

Gary United Methodist Church, 224 N. Main St. in Wheaton, has vibrant music, kids, youth and adult ministries, plus opportunities for local, national and global missions.

This summer, Gary Church offers worship at 9 a.m., including Kids’ Church. At 10 a.m. there’s a coffee fellowship hour, plus the chapel is available for prayer and reflection.

Starting Sunday, Sept. 7, the church will restart its second service at 11:11 a.m., along with Sunday school for all ages between services. For more information, go to garychurch.org or contact the church office at office@garychurch.org.
