Vacation Bible School 2011Nemaha United Methodist Church held Vacation Bible School in the church basement July 18 - 20th!The students, teacher Luann Benge and assistants met each evening from 5pm to 7pm. This year's theme was "Three Simple Rules for Bible School".   There were multiple lessons, stories, and activities for all ages of youth.   All local and surrounding area youngsters were encouraged to attend even if this was not their primary church. Much fun was had by all children as they learned the lessons of the Bible through tales, games, and crafts.  On June 26, 2011, Rev. Karen Dungan pressented the message.
She is assistant to the Bishop for Connectional Ministries.
She offered insight into "Reconstruction Mission Work" both local and in other countries. Her message was welcomed in our area that is recovering from tornado damage and near major flooding along the Missouri River and other rivers where many people are in need of help.  The Connectional Ministries team of the Iowa Annual Conference is here to help local churches be more effective in mission and ministry, in your own communities and around the world. The Connectional Ministry Council is a network of groups engaged with the poor, with students, with social justice, with hands-on mission projects, and with disciple-making in all its many variations.

Dr.
Jennifer Haden presented a power-point program on her recent medical
trip to Guatemala. She traveled to the Central American country with
other medical personnel to administer first aid, medicine, and care
to those who are unable to afford care or do not have access to
medical facilities in the rural areas.
Dr.
Haden showed many photos on the ceiling of the sanctuary of the
people, the workers, and their surroundings. The children were more
than willing to have their picture taken and soon learned they could
view the photo on the back of the camera.
Dr. Haden answered questions after the presentation.
