2025 Children & Youth Stock Campaign: “Investing in the Future Today”
This May, we’re excited to launch our 2025 Children and Youth Stock Campaign with the theme: “Investing in the Future Today.” Camps, retreats, and mission trips offer life-changing opportunities for students (and adults) to encounter God’s love and grace and to grow in their discipleship through spiritual formation, service, and fellowship.
Pick Your Envelope
Instead of students “selling” stock certificates, this year’s campaign features stock options available in color-coded envelopes, each representing a predetermined amount. These envelopes will be available for pickup outside our worship areas every Sunday in May, beginning May 4th. There will be a limited number of envelopes available—think IPO!
Each envelope color corresponds to a specific opportunity for one of our students:
Green envelopes
$400
Green envelopes are $400 and cover the cost for 1 person to Lakeview Summer Camp.
Red envelopes
$250
Red envelopes are $250 and will cover the cost for 1 person on our All Youth Mission Trip
Blue envelopes
$150
Blue envelopes are $150 and will cover the cost for 1 person on a 2 night retreat
Yellow envelopes
$100
Yellow envelopes are $100 and cover the cost for 1 Vacation Bible Camp participant.
Purple envelopes
$50
Purple envelopes are $50 and cover the cost of ½ of Vacation Bible Camp participant or 1 participant for lock-out
Pink envelopes
$25
Purple envelopes are $25 and cover the cost of 1/4 of Vacation Bible Camp participant or 1 participant for lock-out
If the amount listed on an envelope is more than you’re able to contribute individually, we encourage you to partner with a friend, class, or group to maximize your impact.
Please return your envelope with the designated amount (or more) by May 31st. Envelopes may be placed in the offering plate or returned to the church finance office.
All proceeds benefit children and youth at First Methodist Houston, making it possible for them to attend camps, retreats, mission trips, and other vital spiritual growth experiences.
Let’s invest in the future—today!
