🎉 We have some incredible news to share!

The Indiana Conference of The United Methodist Church has been awarded a $19,657,500 grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to invest in our residential youth camps across the state!

The grant will be distributed among four of our camps:

Camp Adventure: $2,410,500
Epworth Forest: $10,000,000
Camp Indicoso: $2,427,000
Camp Lakewood: $4,820,000

"This extraordinary investment in the lives of young people across Indiana will have a transformational impact for generations to come," said Bishop Tracy S. Malone.

This gift, combined with a previous $6.5 million Lilly Endowment grant awarded in December 2025, represents a truly generational investment in the future of camp ministry in Indiana.

"We are so excited to receive this generational gift and are looking forward to the impact this will have on students in Indiana," said Nick Yarde, Director of Outdoor Ministries.

We are so grateful for Lilly Endowment's partnership and commitment to the young people of Indiana. The best is yet to come! 🙏

Trinity United Methodist Church in Madison, Indiana has experienced a devastating fire to their building.

Many of you have reached out to ask how you can support the church & the broader Madison community.

Right now, you can pray.

If you can't find the words just yet, we offer these:

"God of mercy and presence,

We come with heavy hearts, grieving what has been lost and unsure of what comes next. Be near to this church community, all who have experienced your love in and through its witness.

Bring comfort to those who are hurting, peace to those who are anxious, and strength to those who are weary. Bless all who have responded with care and courage.

Grant wisdom to leaders for the days ahead, and remind us that your church is not just a building, but more importantly, your people.

Out of this loss, bring hope. Out of this moment, bring connection.

We trust that you are with us always.
Amen."

Wesley Super Seniors Annual Day was truly a blessing! We gathered to celebrate our amazing Super Seniors under the powerful theme: “Still Doing God’s Work!”

We were inspired by a dynamic message from Pastor Ron Ellis, Sr., uplifted by the joyful sounds of our Super Senior Choir, and encouraged through a special presentation honoring 21 years of faithful ministry. The day was filled with laughter and inspiration, highlighted by a fun and meaningful skit.

Our Super Seniors ministry continues to flourish with 50 active members, including 10 who fellowship with us from other churches. We meet every second Monday of the month for food, fun, fellowship, and faith-building moments.

We are also committed to serving our community—supporting Jeffersonville’s first Fresh Stop Market, providing care packages, blessing families with turkey baskets, and recently hosting a diaper drive. Plus, we bring two canned goods to every meeting to support Dare to Care.

There’s a place for you here! Come join us as we continue “Still Doing God’s Work”—serving, giving, and growing together.
