YOUTH FUNDRAISERS:
EMPTY INK CARTRIDGES
We are still collecting empty printer ink cartridges and will all year. Boxes are in the Church office in front of the bathrooms and in the Fellowship Hall. We just sent in a box last month and received a check for $120 just by sending in our “trash.” Thanks so much.
Chicago Mission Trip
Our mission as the youth of UCUMC is to learn about God while having fun and making friends. We want to show all guests to our group and the adults and children of our church that believing in God can be fun. We hope to grow closer to God and deeper in our faith in Christ. We enjoy and look forward to welcoming new people, helping others and growing into the future leaders of Christ's Church.
United Methodist Youth (UMY) is offered to all 6th through 12th graders. We meet each Sunday for food, fellowship, sharing/prayer, and fun. We also try to do one special fun trip and a mission experience at least each quarter. Retreats, camps and a summer mission trip are also an integral part of our group as is fundraising for these adventures. Please take a look at our quarterly schedule and join us soon.
We recently hosted the 2nd Annual Living Market. At this Market, we sell shares of stock for animals to be purchased for Heifer Project International. Families in rural areas around the world receive the animals to help them support themselves. Each class raised funds for one animal. Donors were able to purchase shares in honor or in memory of someone.
We also had our 2nd annual Happy Birthday Jesus party. Neighborhood families were invited for a free meal, birthday cake, Christmas stories, and surprises. We pray that we were able to touch the lives of our neighbors. We are grateful for the help we received with cooking and serving, reading of stories to the children, and financial assistance.
