SUNDAY MORNINGS
Sunday School | 9:45 - 10:45 am | Youth Center
Every Sunday morning, youth (grades 6th - 12th) gather in our Youth Center upstairs for a time of worship.

All are welcome to connect with us at this time when we focus on our relationship with God.

Back to School Blessings Sunday

A new school year brings new beginnings. Join us on Sunday, August 16th, as we pray for everyone involved in our children's back-to-school lives, including teachers, school staff, coaches, caregivers, administrators, and families, during a special Blessing of the Backpacks in worship. Bring your backpack as we ask God's guidance, protection, and encouragement for the year ahead. Invite a friend, and let's begin this year grounded in faith, hope, and the love of Christ
YOUTH OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES
As disciples of Jesus, we want to seize opportunities that engage us with the world and allow us to transform our lives and those we meet each day. God grants us opportunities to serve among friends, families, schools, and other communities. We have several ways in which UPUMC youth give back and share God's love with our community. If you are interested in helping us serve our community, please get in touch with Rev. Colin Craft.
