It’s already time to think about winding down for the semester. But we have a few special events saved up for the end of the year.

Spring Banquet: We’ve invited Hyde Park UMC youth to join us for our final Banquet of the year. We’ll enjoy some time playing games together, have dinner together, then worship together. We will be considering what it means that we are “new creations” in Christ.

Year-End Picnic: To celebrate our year together as a youth fellowship, we’ll be hosting a big picnic on Saturday, June 17 for all students and their families. Come join us as we break out our new grill for a party-sized cookout. We’ll also look back at the year, think about what went well and what we could change, recognize our seniors, and just enjoy each other’s company. Sign up to attend and bring a side to share.

The schedule for this month…

STUDENT PHONE DIRECTORY: In order to help students keep in touch with each other over the summer, Pastor Rebecca will be distributing a phone list of youth fellowship attendees to other youth fellowship attendees. If you would prefer not to be included on that list, please contact Pastor Rebecca by June 12^th, and your information will be removed from the list.

RECOGNIZE OUR GRADUATES: Help us to recognize students in our church community who are graduating from high school or college on Sunday, June 11. Please give their names, degrees received and school to the church office by Monday, June 5.

Adults Supporting the Youth

Although it’s only June, we are already looking towards next fall and what will be in store for our youth ministry. We will be looking for a few new youth leaders for both the junior high and senior high groups. And there are other surprising ways for you to support our youth – some of these ways may be less time-consuming and could truly bless you as you use your particular gifts to build up the youth in their faith. Please pray and if you feel led, please tear off and return the form to Pastor Rebecca’s mailbox at the church.
