High School Youth Room Painting

As we continue to improve our new youth spaces, the high school youth have identified several areas that would make their room (102) even better for activities. Two areas, soft seating (including couches and bean bags) and custom lighting, are underway and the third, custom paining is coming up.

In October the 3-D leadership team indentified new paint as a needed improvement, and this past Sunday shared and gathered reflections on proposed colors and designs. While the designs may yet need further perfection, we need to also get ready to do the actual painting.

This is a youth project, and we are counting on youth to carry it out – so please click to http://mysignup.com/fumc-paint and sign up to help paint on December 20th and/or 21st. We’ll start at noon and work for several hours each day.

Thanks for your commitment to the youth ministries at First UMC!

Youth Worship Planning

Youth Worship Weekend will be January 29th-30th, 2011. This is a great opportunity for our youth program to take full leadership of the worship services at First UMC and create opportunities for our congregation to worship God in a new ways.

The end of January may seem far off, but it will be here before we know it, and in order to create an awesome and authentic worship event we need to start planning now. To that end, I would like to invite all high school youth to come to a planning session at 1:00 on Saturday, November 20th.

This session will focus mostly on the music that we want to include in our Youth Worship, since that usually takes the most time to plan an coordinate. We will also talk about the overall theme and form of the services.

If you cannot attend on the 20th but want to be involved in the planning, or if you have ideas for worship that you want to share, please contact Pastor Sean.
