Tim's Talk About Youth
Welcome to MUMC Youth!

We have a fantastic group of young people here at MUMC.  If you or someone you
know in grades 7-12 would like to be a part of our group, we would love to have
you.

Our youth group meets once a week.  In addition to our weekly meetings, our
group meets for other functions, activities and missions throughout the year.  At
Christmas, our youth group leads "Hope for the Holidays".  It's a mission project
we started in 2007 and has been a huge success.  This year we delivered food and
gifts to 130 families in the area.  Our whole church supports and helps with this
important mission.

In the summer, our group takes a trip together.  This trip may be a time for us to
have recreation together and learn more about our creator.  This trip is also
sometimes mission oriented.  In any case, our summer trip  has been a fantastic
success and we look forward to it every year.

Other activities our group is involved in include, hosting other church's and
mission groups, leading the worship service in music and message and visiting
nursing homes in our area, and attending team building activities.

My goal as youth director is to help shape the lives of our future leaders.  As I've
said many times before, I believe we have one of the finest groups of young people
anywhere.  It is my hope that I can foster the faith of our young people as much as
they foster mine.  With faith all things are possible.  With this group, the sky is the
limit!!
