YOUTH EVENT CALENDAR:

Hello my UMY Friends…. U.M.Y.F. (United Methodist Youth Fellowship) meets on Sunday nights at 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm down stairs. We will resume our meetings on February 15th. I have really missed some of you lately but I hope you enjoyed your days in the snow and “Superbowl” with friends. Our group is for all 6th thru 12th graders. We have been planning for our winter/spring activities. We gather in fellowship each week and of course play games, have our snack suppers, devotions and make plans for the year. You are welcome to invite a friend to join our group.

Our lessons and devotions for the next several weeks will be based on Kyle Idleman’s “NOT A FAN”. We will look closely at Jesus’s invitation to follow Him. Not just as an interested “fan” or enthusiastic admirer but a completely committed follower of Christ. We will work with DVD stories and examples and daily scriptures.

We had a wonderful uplifting trip to The Edge Conference at Ridgecrest. Our group experienced dancing, singing, and praising God with 500+ other youth groups from all over the southeast. There was laughter with the ventriloquist and our own Hunter Brafford made it to the stage for our entertainment. We gained knowledge of the scriptures and good worship times together as well as plug-in time and leadership training for the adults. MANY THANKS to Andrew Harmon and Matt Brafford for coming along on the trip with us!!!

Prayer Breakfast meets every Thursday morning before school at 7 am. Start your day off with a time of fellowship and prayer together with other students, parents, grandparents and friends of all ages. Our prayer breakfast is such a blessing to all who attend. It’s a great start to our school day, work day or anyday! We are meeting at Homefolks Café at 7:00 am on Thursday mornings to feed our tummies, our souls and our hearts with friendships, devotions and prayer time before school. Everyone of all ages and all denominations are invited to join the prayer breakfast group! Our church van or Miss Bess will be there to provide a ride to school for anyone who needs it.
