Ready! Set! Grow!
Our June Garden Camp for children age 2 through rising 6th grade is just around the corner! We are getting so excited to dig in and sow happy memories with our young campers! Would you consider helping us make camp a success by donating a craft supply? Ideas for what we need will be blooming on the wall in the parlor. Simply pick a flower of your choice from the parlor wall and return it with the supply.
Thank you for supporting our summer camp!
Mom's Morning Out
Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:00 a.m. to noon right here at
Rapid City First United Methodist Church !
Mom's Morning Out 2025-2026 is coming to an end. We have continued to grow throughout the year ending with 86 children ranging from ages 9 months to 10 years old. This program is a wonderful outreach our church offers to the community. When I started as the Director of Mom's Morning Out in 2021, we had 25 kids attending. We have continued to build connections with military families and other families around the Black Hills.
How can we as a church continue to support this program?
We are always accepting volunteers, and donations. If you would like to volunteer, you need to go through a background check and Safe Sanctuary training led by Anne Torgerson. We also have prayer partners, so those of you in the congregation can support our teachers by praying for them throughout the school year and writing encouraging notes.
We have 70 kids already registered for Fall 2026, and we are expecting more to register as the summer months go by. We are excited to see this ministry continue to grow and help families around Rapid City.
Thank you,
Hannah O'Donnell
MMO Director, Youth and Media Coordinator
