CUMI Teen IGNITE Harvest Festival

Camden Urban Ministry Initiative (CUMI) consists of the six remaining United Methodist Churches in the city of Camden. Collectively, we design and implement ministreis throughout the year.  Parkside is normally the lead church in our endevours.  However collectively, we were able to sponsor 23 youth to the IGNITE Youth Conference in Wildwood this past month.  Their experience was awesome to the point that they chose to send support to two young people through the "Compassion in Jesus' Name" Ministry.  They additionally planned and instituted a "Harvest Night" Festival, inviting children from the CUMI Churches and surrounding neighborhoods.  The event exceeded our expectations.  Their plan is to continue the IGNITE momentum in engaging community youth in faith based initiatives, both churched and unchurched.
