LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:
During the year,
UMY are offered opportunities to develop skills in leadership by attending
conference leadership training, and participating as youth representatives
on church committees and the Church Council. Other opportunities
include serving as participants in the morning Sunday Services, and accepting
positions on the Youth Council.
SERVICE INVOLVEMENT:
UMY programs
are scheduled by an active Youth Council that is elected by their peers.
Some of the events in which the youth have been involved in recently include
dramatic presentations, lock-ins, visits to shut-ins, clowning events,
fund-raisers, and missionary work on summer youth trips. |

OTHER EVENTS:
The youth of
our church also take part in many other outstanding events. Special
holiday opportunities enable our youth to reach out to others. Interested
youth and adults who love drama and singing occasionally present plays.
Our youth share their musical talent for worship services and other special
occasions. |
