OPEN HOUSE FOR MISSIONS PROGRAMS

Park Place United Methodist Church will hold an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday as part of its new mission to the inner city.

In recent months, the congregation has been remodeling unused space to house several outreach programs, including:

Project Light, a Bible-based literacy program and learning center.

Urban Discovery Ministries, which helps inner-city residents with social problems that impede education.

Park Place Academy, which provides tutoring and youth jobs programs.

Park Place Youth Council, a support group for youth.

Park Place United Methodist Child Development Center, which provides day care, before- and after-school programs, and homework assistance.

Park Place Summer Camp, which operates in July and August.

The church is at 500 W. 34th St. by CNB
