JDub Help Needed

Looking for a way to make a lasting impact? JDub Youth Ministry needs volunteers to provide Sunday meals, help with our upcoming Pumpkin Patch event, and serving as a family in our local community! Whether you're cooking, praying, or serving, your time can make a huge difference in the lives of our youth. Come join us in creating a fun and meaningful environment! 🙏🎃 #JDubYouth #Volunteer #MakeADifference

We're looking for a family or two to team up and provide a meal for our Sunday night gatherings. This is a great opportunity to serve together and bless our group of 50 youth! If you're able to help, please use the link below to sign up.

We have found that 10 pizza, salad, fruit, and dessert is a great meal for our group. Casseroles fulling two full size steam pans, a pan of veggies, and dessert is a great meal. Simple nacho bar of taco meet, cheese, lettuce, salsa, sour cream and ice cream sandwiches is always appreciated.

This year, our Pumpkin Unload days are set for Sept 29 and Oct 13, from noon to 3pm, and we need all hands on deck! We're unloading over 2,500 pumpkins and need volunteers of all ages to help with this huge project. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and bring work gloves. If you have a wagon or cordless blower, it would be a big help for unloading and cleanup. For those staying after church to lend a hand, we’ll provide pizza and salad. Let's make this year’s Pumpkin Patch a success together!

We're asking each youth family to sign up for at least two sales shifts, with each shift being just two hours long. This year marks over 30 years of pumpkin sales on John Wesley's front lawn, and we’re excited to reach a major milestone—surpassing $1,000,000 in total sales! All proceeds go directly to the Youth Mission Fund, supporting mission work in our community and around the world. Your help is vital to making this year a success. Please volunteer and be part of this incredible tradition!

The Youth Leadership Team is excited to host a Youth Costume Party on Sunday, October 27th, from 5-7pm, and we’re aiming to make it an unforgettable night! We’re calling on adult volunteers who can help take this event to the next level. Whether it's with decorations, games, or treats, your support would be greatly appreciated. If you’re available to help plan and bring this event to life, please reach out to David at jwyouth@gmail.com. Let’s make this an epic event for the youth!

We need YOU to decorate your trunk and hand out candy at John Wesley’s Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, October 30th, from 6-7pm in the church parking lot! It’s a fun and festive way to connect with our community, and we need your help to make it a success.

Get creative with your decorations, bring some candy, and let's make this a spooktacular evening for the kids!

Youth are asked to arrive at 5pm to cook hotdogs and make lemonade for everyone attending the event.

We’re inviting families to sign up to provide Sunday breakfast for the residents of Star Gospel Mission, a local shelter offering hope and a fresh start to men in need. This is a wonderful opportunity to share a meal, spread kindness, and support those working to rebuild their lives. Star Gospel asks that the meal be able to feed 40 people. Breakfast is served after the Sunday morning worship service at the mission, around 8:30am. You are welcome to use the kitchen at Star Gospel starting at 7:45am or bring pre-prepared food. If your family is interested, please contact Ian Colvin (iancolvin07@gmail.com), a senior at James Island Charter High School, for more information. We provide breakfast on the 4th Sunday of each month.

Would your family be willing to put together snack bags for local college students? The Charleston Wesley Foundation, a Methodist ministry serving students at The Citadel, CofC, CSU, MUSC, and Trident Tech, provides weekly worship and small group opportunities. They’d love to give snack bags to the 60 students they connect with each week. If your family is interested in supporting this effort, please contact David at jwyouth@gmail.com for more information.

Please pray that:

• Youth ministry volunteers and leaders will have wisdom
• Ministry events will build community
• Youth will find JDub as a welcoming place
• Youth will find a deeper understanding of Christ
• Youth know that God loves them
