Sunday School Small Group for Youth – grades 6 -9th
We are having some great talks as we view videos each week from Skit Guys. It’s fun, easy and tells the story of Christ’s love for us.
Join us in the Youth Room downstairs
Youth Group meets the 2nd and 4th Sunday nights from 6:30- 8:30pm. A time for friends to gather, share food and fun, and grow in their relationship with each other and Christ. Past events included Country Westren Theme Night, Advent Surprise, Trips to Massanutten Water Park
Student Leaders- Youth are invited and encouraged to participate in the life of the church in a variety of ways such as serving on committees, council, teaching and helping with younger children, in mission projects and in worship as liturgists, acolytes, greeters, ushers and more. See Julie for more info
Confirmation- offers youth the opportunity to confirm the baptismal vows made on their behalf as infants and claim Christ as their Lord and Savior for themselves. In the United Methodist Church this is traditionally done during the 6th grade, but older youth are welcome to be a part of this opportunity as well. Upon completion of confirmation classes, the Confirmation Retreat and Confirmation vows, each youth participant will be given the opportunity to profess their faith and join in membership in the Body of Christ at SUMC.
TAT- Tweens and Teens- Grades 6 and up- A special midweek After School event on Wednesdays from 3-5pm that provides a safe, structured place for kids to gather, have free time, share and grow in relationships with each other and adults. Contact Carol Recknor for more info.
