It’s a good idea to check with a youth leader and/or check the
schedule for changes in plans and for upcoming activities. We do
take frequent field trips and participate in service projects
throughout the year.
UMY welcomes new members, and joining does NOT
require that you are a member of this church. We invite all teens
in our local community to join in the fun, fellowship, service and praise!
There are five areas of ministry that we focus our attention to help
us grow in Christ, and they are:
WORSHIP Ministry
To praise God. To give thanks. To share our gifts. To offer ourselves.
To celebrate or faith. To strengthen our faith.
EXPLORATIONS Ministry
To explore issues of faith, of the Bible, of our lives. To ask questions,
to search together for understanding and guidance.
Ministry WITHIN the CONGREGATION
To take an active role in the life of the church. To minister to
older and younger members of the congregation, as well as get to
know them and let them know us.
SERVICE Ministry
To respond to God’s call to love and serve others through
hands-on-service beyond our congregation. To develop a lifestyle
of caring for those in need.
FELLOWSHIP Ministry
To get to know each other. To learn how to affirm others. To build
community. To build trust. To build relationships and a spirit of
teamwork. To enjoy being together as Christians. To reach out and
invite other youth.
UMY is a vital element of our church community, and adult’s involvement can
have a major influence in the fabric of young people’s lives. The teens of our
church can and will have an impact on the lives of other teens in our community,
on the future of our country, and on the future of our world. We all need to
help prepare them for this responsibility by being strong spiritual and community
leaders ourselves. A good way to do this by spending time with them and leading by
example.
How can you help? We are always in need of adult leaders and volunteers.
Qualifications include, enjoy spending time with young people, and a love for
God.
Here’s the kind of things we need help with:
-
Adult UMY leaders
Spend a few Sunday evenings and be a role model. You will discover
rewards you never knew existed. If you are interested contact 336-764-9630 or,
Rev Ray Surratt
-
Volunteers to prepare dinners
Prepare a meal for about 20-30 people. We hope to have enough volunteers
that no one has to repeat during the school year. Contact Rev Ray Surratt
at 336-764-9630 if you are interested in helping out with food.
-
Chaperones and Adult Drivers
UMY frequently takes trips, and we are in constant need of adults to
chaperone and serve as drivers. Contact
Rev. Ray Surratt at 764-9630 if you are interested in helping out.
