Youth Summer Mission tRIP
June 16-21, 2024
Morgan Scott Project | Deer Lodge, TN
This summer, our youth group will travel to Deer Lodge, TN to work at the Morgan Scott Project, a non-profit helping the elderly, needy, handicapped, and unemployed in Morgan and Scott counties, which are among the most poverty-stricken counties in Tennessee. The leadership intends to have us work on a project that is a good match for our group’s size and abilities; we’ll know more about the project when we can tell them more about the group that is coming. Typical projects include building a wheel chair ramp, painting, and helping rehab a bathroom. The Morgan Scott Project will provide onsite leadership for all projects.
All youth (rising 7th - graduating 12th graders) are invited to participate. Registration is open through June 2.

Your purchase of a share or shares of stock is an investment in the Highlands United Methodist Youth Mission Trip. It is an investment in the lives of our young people. It is an investment that allows our young people to experience an intentional, guided opportunity to be the loving presence of God. It is an investment that allows the heartbeat of Highlands UMC to be heard and felt in rural Tennessee by low-income residents who are happy to have a helping hand.
Purchasing shares in this trip represents an investment in transformation – in our young people, in a low-income Tennessee county, in the future of Highlands UMC. It will allow our young people to have a never-to-be forgotten experience in serving God by serving others.
As a shareholder, you will receive updates from the trip, photos, and correspondence updating you on what your investment has allowed to happen. The biggest payoff – what your investment does for the spiritual development of our church’s young people – may take years to be fully realized. Thank you for considering this investment worthwhile.
Stock may be purchased for $20 per share. Stock may be given in honor or memory of a loved one for Father’s Day, which will be listed in the bulletin on June 16, 2024.
