Commissioning Our Guatemala Mission Team
On Sunday, we had the privilege of commissioning an 11-person team as they prepared to serve in Guatemala through the ministry of Mission Guatemala.

Mission Guatemala partners with local community members, international mission teams, and nonprofit organizations to address needs in health, education, nutrition, and community development. Their work is made possible through generous donations, sponsorships, and the support of United Methodist congregations and volunteers who travel to serve alongside local communities.

Please join us in praying for our team as they travel, build relationships, and participate in meaningful projects in the days ahead. We ask God's blessing on their journey, safety in their travels, and success in their work.

Keep an eye on our social media channels for photos and updates from Guatemala!

Hey, Hey...PB&J!
We’ve heard that Boulevard Place Food Pantry is constantly running low on one simple but important staple: peanut butter and jelly! We’d love to help change that.
Between now and June 14, you’re invited to drop off jars of peanut butter and/or jelly in the donation bin located in the Welcome Center. Then, as part of their Summer Service Sampler, our middle school students will personally deliver the donations to Boulevard Place.
Boulevard Place Food Pantry is a ministry network organized by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Founded in 1982 in the basement of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, the pantry has grown from a small neighborhood ministry into the fifth-largest food pantry in Marion County—distributing more than 600,000 pounds of food each year.
A jar of peanut butter may seem small, but together, we can help provide easy, nutritious meals for neighbors throughout our community. Thank you for helping our students serve—and for helping local families feel cared for and supported.

Today, we celebrate Hazel Smith, a graduate of North Central High School! She will be attending Purdue University, West Lafayette, in the fall and majoring in Industrial Design. Her dream is to work for Lego!

Hazel is a 10-year 4-H member with sewing, needle crafts, and fine arts as her favorite projects. She led a crochet club at North Central. After school, Hazel could be found playing tennis and performing in the varsity show choir, Descants.

Hazel has attended Meridian Street youth activities with her siblings since 2017 and has been active in service trips, as a VBS volunteer, and as a childcare helper.

Congratulations, Hazel! Our prayers go with you into your new adventures.

Taking Care of Mind, BODY, and Soul
Friends, if you're looking for a gentle way back into exercise, why not try the Wednesday afternoon Chair Yoga class led by Amy Gindhart? Meet us in the Parlor! The atmosphere is supportive, peaceful, and restorative — and you'll walk away feeling refreshed in both body and spirit.

This week, we were especially delighted to welcome some young visitors who attended alongside their adults... and they participated wonderfully!

There’s something beautiful about caring for ourselves together in community. It's a joy to encourage one another, laugh together, move together, and simply be present.
