K.A.N.
(Kids in Action Now)
The goal of K.A.N. is to involve kids
from 3rd to 6th grade in the
helping ministries of our
church, first by learning about specific programs and then by
participating in activities to support those programs.
We combine those activities with some fun, too!
In the past year, K.A.N. kids have been involved in many projects, including:

In the past year, K.A.N. kids have been involved in many projects, including:
- The CROP Hunger Walk
- Assembling school kits for the Church World Service program
- Helping the Lansing Food Pantry with the giving tree, as well as with publicity and donation collection for a national grant program
- Raising funds to sponsor an elementary school child in Haiti
- Providing Christmas treats to the Lansing Residential and Louis Gossett Jr. Centers
- Making soup mixes for Woodsedge residents
- Helping with the famous LUMC Spring Rummage Sale!
- Raising money in support of the UMC's anti-malaria initiative, Nothing But Nets, a grassroots campaign dedicated to saving lives by providing insecticide-treated bed nets to prevent malaria.
It's amazing to see the impact these
caring souls have on the helping
ministries of our church when we let them contribute their boundless
energy and enthusiasm! While allowing kids to get involved in
helping others, K.A.N. also develops what we hope will be a lifelong
understanding of outreach programs and possibilities within the church.
An added benefit for the kids is getting to know the adults
in our church who are dedicated to making these helping programs work.
These young people are at the perfect age to catch on fire with our Wesleyan heritage of reaching out to those in need, and we're very excited to offer them this opportunity to experience the joy of serving Christ in our world!
