All Church Mission Trip

Getting the Camp Ready for Camp
Wesley Woods Retreat Center in Williams Bay, WI

June 12 - 17

The second annual All Church Mission Trip will provide a wonderful opportunity to put your faith into action at the Wesley Woods Retreat Center. The camp buildings and grounds need fixing up right before our summer campers arrive! Many hands are needed in this beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Geneva, WI. Come for a few hours, a day, or as many days as you can. There are jobs for everyone, regardless of skill level or expertise. Tasks may include painting and staining; replacing lights; repairing wood siding, railings, windows, roofs, and steps; cleaning cabins; and repairing or replacing trails and paths. All tools, supplies, and meals are provided.

Let us know you're coming! Contact Don Dunham at 630.362.3164 or don@dgfumc.org for more information.
