For several years before the pandemic, FMC and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church sponsored a Peace Camp. Once again, Peace Camp will be offered August 12-15, 2024, (Monday through Thursday) from 9am to 11:30am for rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders. This is a joint venture with St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and will be held at First Mennonite Church.

Children will enjoy learning Bible stories, songs, peacemaking skills, cooperative games, and art. The curriculum is “Peace Lab, Discovering God’s Way of Peace” developed by Shine, the curriculum that FMC uses for Sunday School. Register here.
