Gleaners Mobile Food Pantry Volunteers
2nd & 4th Tuesdays | June through August
No one should have to choose between putting food on the table or paying rent. Gleaners and Castleton United Methodist Church are partnering again this summer to bring the Gleaners Mobile Food Pantry to our area. Exact location is still being determined, but we know it will be on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month, starting on June 10.
We will serve from 3-5 pm, with setup 1 hour before and cleanup to follow. Volunteer opportunities will include opening boxes and preparing to distribute food, placing food items in vehicles, helping drivers line up, talking with guests about how many families need food on that distribution day, and giving out food to those who walk up. Please use the button below for details and to sign up.
VBS
June 16-19
VBS is just over a month away! Have you ever wondered how faith and science coexist? Do you want your kids to be well-versed in the Bible and science? Do you look at the sky with awe and wonder?
Our theme for 2025 is I Wonder… and will be held June 16-19 (Monday through Thursday evenings) from 6 pm-8 pm. You and your children are invited to join us for dinner before VBS each evening at 5:15 pm.
Registration for kids can be found here.
Registration for volunteers can be found here.
We look forward to serving you and your family this summer!
AHEPA Apartment Workday
Saturday, May 31
On Saturday, May 31, we will meet at the AHEPA Apartments (7355 Shadeland Station Way) to assist residents with their requested needs. The help we provide usually involves cleaning or small household projects. We have previously cleaned refrigerators, bathrooms, and kitchens, mopped and swept floors, dusted, cleaned windows, hung curtains, and set up electronics. The residents are so appreciative of any assistance we provide. Please sign up using the button below. For questions, please contact the church office
Summer Worship Schedule

Beginning on Sunday, May 25 (Memorial Day weekend) we will return to our summer schedule of one worship service together at 10:00 AM. Our summer worship schedule will continue through the end of July.
Guitar Players Needed
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in playing with the praise band for contemporary worship. We have lost our acoustic guitar player, and our bass player is taking a break. If you are interested, please contact the church office.
New Series: Rooted & Grounded in Love
We will be going through Ephesians in our Sunday service and discussing it in our Table Groups. Join us as we discover together what the resurrection of Jesus means for us today.
