College Scholarships

The Florida United Methodist Foundation is now accepting applications for two scholarship programs. The Sinclair Scholarship, available to students who will be incoming freshmen in fall 2012, and the Alice W. Lockmiller Scholarship, open to students already enrolled in a college or university. Deadline for application is March 9, 2012.

Applicants must be active church members with a solid academic record and a commitment to church and community service. Application forms may be downloaded from the Foundation web site, www.fumf.org. These scholarships are available to United Methodist students only.

Spring Break Outreach Trip

This will absolutely transform the life of anyone who goes on this trip.

This spring break, the FUMC youth group will be going to inner-city Atlanta, Georgia to spend time at the Safehouse Outreach center. Visit their website here: http://www.safehouseoutreach.org/. This trip will provide your student the opportunity to spend nearly every waking moment with the homeless and poor downtown. We will share Christ's love by having conversation with people who are from a different socio-economic group, sharing food, putting on church services, washing the feet of the homeless, visiting Martin Luther King's neighborhood, and possibly hiking up Stone Mountain. Each student will stay in a bed and be fed three meals a day! The cost of the trip goes towards keeping the doors of Safehouse Outreach open and in business sharing God's love with the broken.

We will be leaving FUMC right at 12pm on March 28th. Please pack a bag lunch for your student for the road and provide them with money for dinner as we will be stopping before we get to Safehouse. On the return trip Sunday April 1st, we will be eating breakfast at Safehouse and then stopping for lunch so please provide your student with a little cash for that as well. I predict we will be back to the church around 7-8pm but please make sure you follow all our updates via Twitter at www.twitter.com/WarehouseMelbs! You can also contact James Barnett, the Director of Student Ministries for any inquiries at Jbarnett@fumc-melb.org.

Cost: $150 (+ money for food on the journey to and from) Please make checks payable to FUMC and turned in no later than Wednesday, March 14th. Please contact James if a scholarship is needed. We want everyone to go on this trip!
