This Sunday for youth will be a bit different but we still have youth! Here is the plan!

5:00-7:00

Youth will take place outside in the patch (weather permitting)
Blessing of the animals in the pumpkin patch 5:00-5:30
If you brought your pet you are invited to keep them there during youth. We will eat after everyone leaves and play games/ play with all the pets, and just have fun in the patch.

If you are planning to keep your pet with you - you are responsible for your own pet and any mess it makes (we will have trash bags and cans available).

If you have any questions please feel free to text, email, or call.

Thrive parents, guardians, and youth - here is our trip for this summer it is a great trip as we spend this year at FUMCA discussing what it means to be a disciple making disciples of Jesus Christ for transformation of the world!

The mission trip is July 10 - 14th in Kansas City, Missouri.

Lastly if you and your youth are interested in going on this youth trip - working the pumpkin patch is a great way to pay for your trip!

Here is a snipet from the website and a link to the website:

“Join thousands for 4 days of discipleship, worship, Bible study, service opportunities, and life-changing fun! Expect inspiration, support, and challenges to grow authentically as a world-changing disciple of Jesus Christ.”

JR high retreat first weekend in November! Early bird registration ending soon! The first three people to give me their names to register will get a prize (siblings count as one spot for the prize so they both get a prize and still leave room for one or two more people.). Would love to see all or as many of our JR high youth sign up!

Your trip is paid for but for future events you could use your pumpkin patch money to pay for retreats and trips like this!

Comment below or message me if you want to go!

This coming Wednesday during our regular youth time we will have a brief practice in the sanctuary for confirmation students and those helping with worship. We need you here so we can practice. If you can’t stay for the entirety of youth that is okay - at least come for the practice. If you are not practicing you can start the activity for the night until the others can join you.

Youth is from 5:00-7:00 on Wednesdays.

Since today is the kick off of many summer swims together here is a reminder of our swimsuit rules:

Guys: Do not wear overly short or tight fitting swim trunks.

Ladies: A one piece or tankini is best. If you do wear a two piece bikini then you need to wear a t-shirt long enough cover the bottom or a long tank top but the tank top needs to be appropriate and not open on the sides. Also do not wear shirts that are white or light in color.

Remember we are swimming at a church and as a youth group. We are to be mindful of ourself and others!
