UMYF (United Methodist Youth Fellowship) is an opportunity for 7th through 12th graders to come together for a meal, games, socializing, and discipleship. Each Sunday we gather to get to know one another, have fun, and grow in our faith. We cannot go on our faith journey alone so UMYF is just one way to journey with others on the path God leads us down.
UMYF: The Comeback
- UMYF: United Methodist Youth Fellowship
- Who: 7th through 12th Graders
- When: Sundays, 6pm-7:15pm, 11/1-11/22
- Where: In the Youth Center at Messiah UMC
- What: Join us for a game and discussion each Sunday evening as we look at how this unique time in history is an opportunity to trust God with our future and make a difference in the world around us. We will ask these questions: Where do we go from here? What do I do now?
UMYF Benediction
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Midweek Connect: Why Not Now?
- Who: 7th through 8th Graders
- When: Wednesdays, 7pm-8pm
- Where: The Welsh/Harvey’s Deck
- What: Join us for a discussion each Wednesday evening as we read stories about young people's lives in the Bible to see how and why they followed Jesus. By reading about Miriam, Joseph, David, Solomon, Daniel, and Mary we will see that they believed that God had a call on their lives that would impact the world.
