mingus skyFamily Camp ~ It is not too late to sign up

September 16-18, 2016

Attending Family Camp  at Mingus Mountain is an awesome way to meet new people, make new friends, enjoy the outdoors and worship God all in the same weekend.  If you are new to the First United Methodist Church of Gilbert and want to grow deeper in your faith while meeting folks from the church, this is a great opportunity.  If you are a member of the church, you probably have your own memories of trips to Camp Mingus from years past.  Either way, hurry up and sign up, you don’t have much time left.

Please email Ryan (Director of Youth) for more details and cost.
