Camp Rainforest Summer Adventure is the theme of the Kingdom House Family Center* Summer adventure camp June 6-August 1.
About 200 urban youth ages 6 to 14 will learn about endangered rainforests and species and how our lives are afected by them. They will enjoy the traditional arts, music, crafts, games, and adventures of Summer Camp at Kingdom House. You are invited to support this ministry by sponsoring a camper or donating whatever you can. Your contribution will help urban youth have a safe, fun, and enriching Summer.

*Kingdom House is a United Methodist social service agency which has been serving residents of the Near Southside of St. Louis since 1902. Of prime concern is the provision of social and community services for families, children and individuals under stress, including child care, and direct material relief. Maplewood United Methodist supports Kingdom House through regular donations of non-perishable food items.

Thanks for your continued support of Kingdom House

Gladys Ministry


In an attempt to become better prepared for times when our members and friends may need a meal or two provided, the Gladys Ministry
is being formed. One recent suggestion was to
stockpile frozen, ready-to-heat meals:
  • Make an extra casserole on Potluck Sunday, label it with date prepared, ingredients, and heating instructions, and put it in one of our freezers in the kitchen. Notify Kathy or Charlotte so an inventory can be kept.
  • Package meals to meet a variety of portion needs, from family-size casseroles to individual servings.
The Gladys Ministry also welcomes gift certificates for local restaurants.

Charlotte Phelps recalled a time after the death of her father, when a neighbor, Gladys, brought a bucket of chicken to her family. The gesture meant a great deal and this ministry has been named in honor of that thoughtful neighbor.

Open hearts, open minds, open doors
