Haymount United Methodist Church invites you to attend their Ladies Tea fundraiser on May 3, at 10 a.m., at 1700 Fort Bragg Rd. The tea is an integral part of one of their treasured ministries: Children and Families Ministry.
At the heart of their ministry lies a central commitment to helping children and families build relationships with Jesus while nurturing the bonds that hold families together. They strive to provide events and programming that join families to strengthen family structures and support parents as they guide their children on their spiritual journeys. And their gatherings, such as the Lady's Tea, are designed to be enjoyable and enriching. They invite individuals of all ages to come together in camaraderie and share experiences.
This inaugural Ladies Tea marks an exciting new chapter for their Children and Families Ministries, serving as a delightful gathering and a vital fundraiser. Their vision is clear: they want this event to become an annual staple within their church community and the surrounding areas. All proceeds will benefit their Children and Families Ministries, funding programming activities for their Tweens group—comprised of 3rd through 5th graders—and supporting various outreach projects.
Under the guidance of Rachel Madsen, the Director of Children and Families Ministries, this event embodies her passion for connection. Madsen began her career as a Special Education teacher before embracing the role of a stay-at-home mom to her two children. She finds immense joy in her current position, connecting with children ages birth through 5th grade and engaging with volunteers and community members.
“It is my utmost desire to teach the young ones I come in contact with that Jesus truly does love them more than anyone else ever could,” Madsen shares passionately.
“While we may not have set specific fundraising goals in terms of dollar amounts, what we truly hope to achieve is fostering multigenerational fellowship among families. Whether it’s someone’s first visit or they’ve been part of Haymount UMC for years, we want everyone who walks through our doors to feel at home. We aim to cultivate a vibrant ministry where families can connect deeply, where children can flourish spiritually, all while nurturing their relationships with God,” Madsen adds.
Ladies of all ages are welcome to join them for this special occasion! Enjoy a tasting of traditional tea-time bites with an exquisite selection of teas while donning your favorite hats or fascinators! Tickets are just $5 per person, making it an accessible opportunity for everyone to contribute towards enriching their Children and Families Ministries programming.
