"The Gathering"  happens every Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m. in Room 303/305 for 7-12 graders.  This is a time of food, fellowship, football predictions and entertainment before we go to individual Sunday School classes. 

Why Have a UMYF Group? 

• A UMYF group can make a difference by providing unique experiences for youth
• One of the greatest gifts UMYF can offer is “safe space”
• UMYF provides opportunities to integrate life experiences and values
• UMYF helps to develop leadership skills
• UMYF is organized for ministry in the following four areas:  fellowship, personal enrichment, service/outreach, worship, faith development
