The Aldersgate board members of the Main street United Methodist Church hosted a pizza party for the honor students at Hawkins Elementary School. We are so proud of the children from Aldersgate who were part of this special Honor Roll celebration.

Approximately 95% of our children at Aldersgate earned A’s and B’s this grading period. The event took place at Hawkins Elementary along with 80 other students who made the A and B honors roll list. The event was filled with excitement, congratulations, laughter, and fun for both girls and boys from Pre-K through 6th grade.

We celebrate their hard work, dedication, and academic success, and we look forward to seeing them continue to grow and excel.

We are overflowing with gratitude today! 💛

A huge THANK YOU to the incredible groups from The University of Southern Mississippi—the Men of Excellence and dedicated student volunteers—who poured so much love into our community on yesterday!

These amazing young leaders spent time helping our children with homework, playing games, and simply being present—engaging in meaningful conversations about life, well-being, and encouragement. The laughter and joy were everywhere as they played basketball, soccer, foosball, and table tennis. They even jumped in to help with chores around the building!

This is what community looks like. This is what compassion in action feels like.

A heartfelt shoutout to University of Southern Ms for developing such caring, giving, and purpose-driven young people—our world truly needs more of this!

With deep appreciation,
Aldersgate Mission of Main Street United Methodist Church salutes you! 🙌

✨ “Etiquette Training Day” ✨

What an incredible day at Aldersgate Mission!

Our children from Aldersgate Mission of the Main St. United Methodist Church were blessed with a special visit from the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students from the University of Southern Mississippi!

It was more than just a lesson—it was an experience. 💛 The students poured into our children, teaching them how to present themselves with confidence, practice kindness, and show courtesy and respect in everyday life.

And the fun didn’t stop there! 🎉 The day wrapped up with a lively game of bingo, lots of laughter, delicious snacks, and fun treats—all generously provided by the USM STEM group.

We are so grateful for this meaningful partnership and the love shown to our children. Seeds were planted today that will grow for a lifetime! 🌱
