Lighthouse Student Ministry

This coming summer we will be offering a week of service to the residents of Ft. Pierce, FL with the World Changers organization. The dates for this event are July 5-10, 2010. In addition to hands-on mission work, there will be time for worship and team building activities.

Requirements: Work 8 hours and raise $100 for STRIVE, and work 3 hours at our Clean-Up Day or a Street Ministry.

Registration begins 5pm on Sunday, January 3rd with a deposit of $75 and a completed Mission Trip Agreement Form signed by a parent. Deposits are non-refundable, non-transferrable unless a replacement is later found for your spot. Deposits received after February 1st will incur a $50 late fee. 

Please pick up a flyer in the Lighthouse Lobby for more information.

If you heard great things about our mission service trip to Jaco Beach last summer, you should jump at the chance to go with us this summer! You’ll feel the excitement as we spend the week of June 22-29 working for local families and also building relationships with them. 

Requirements: Work 8 hours and raise $200 for STRIVE, and work 5 hours at the Clean-Up Day or Street Ministry. 

Students should request an application from the Lighthouse Office and return it no later than Monday, January 11th. Upon notification of your approval, a $100 deposit will be due within one week to register. 

For more information please see the flyers in the Lighthouse lobby!

Saturday, February 27, 2010 our students will participate in an 8-hour day of community service and fundraising. They will spend the day landscaping, building, painting, and cleaning in and around our local community. It is our belief that this service will make a difference in the environment, the community and the lives of our students. 

Leaders and students from the Lighthouse will acquire tax-deductible pledges on a per-hour basis for this STRIVE workday. All of the money raised will go toward continuing the relevant programming for the upcoming year.

Watch for our STRIVE Kick-Off in January. 

Calling all 8th grade and older students. Confirmation classes will be starting on February 21st at 8:30 am in the HUMC Parlor. The classes will be held on Feb 21 & 28, March 7 & 21, and April 11 & 18. A morning session will be held on Saturday, April 24th, with the confrimation service on Sunday, April 25th. Students will then become members of Heritage United Methodist Church. 

Registration forms are available in the Lighthouse Lobby and are due to the Office by February 1st.

The first phase of our Envision Campaign is underway as construction progresses on our new Children and Student Ministry facility. The next phase of construction calls for destruction of the current Lighthouse Building.  It must be vacated and demolished before construction can move ahead on the new building.  Although it will sit atop the site of the current Lighthouse, the new facility cannot replace the meaning, the impact, and the memories of time spent in the Lighthouse.

Without any doubt, God used a simple building to change lives for all eternity. The website listed below is a place for you to share those memories, those blessings of the Lighthouse.

To submit a blessing, send an email to

blessthelighthouse@heritageumc.com. 

Please be sure to include your name, groups you were part of, and years spent in the Lighthouse. Messages will be reviewed and posted to the site. Comments and responses to others’  posts are welcome, too.

Be sure to bookmark blessthelighthouse.wordpress.com and visit often to see how the Lighthouse has been a blessing to so many!
