Kick-Off Night
To “Kick-Off” the new school year, we gather together for food, fun, and fellowship as we hear all about what God is going to do and the ministries that our youth will be involved in during the new year! This is usually held in August.
Youth Led Sunday
The youth lead the congregation in worship from planning the service all the way to the preaching. Date, to be announced!
Progressive Dinners
Junior UMYF in the fall and Senior UMYF at Christmas - share in a progressive meal together!
Graduation Celebration
Graduating seniors and their families are honored by the Education Committee with a brunch and recognition ceremony at the morning worship service. In addition, the Senior UMYF hosts a party for the graduating seniors, such as a dinner/dance, or Luau aboard a ship.
Lock-ins!
We will have several lock-ins planned for 2011-2012.
Christmas Caroling and Bonfire
Our youth will go out into the community and sing Christmas Carols in December. Following the caroling they will come back to the church for one big bonfire!
