Confirmation Classes to Begin in January!

PUMC membership confirmation classes for students in grades 7-10 will begin in January.  The classes will be offered Sunday mornings from 11:00-12:00 January – April (with a Sunday off each month). We will meet in the youth room (#144).  If you have questions or would like to register your student please email April at [email protected] and give her your student’s name, parents’ names, address, grade of your student and a contact phone number.

Welcome Home Breakfast Sponsored by Youth

On December 17 the Youth will host a Welcome Home breakfast for our college-age kids and their families, as they come home for the holidays.  We will work on setting this up during our 9:30 Sunday School hour and the breakfast will be offered at 10:30 in the fellowship hall.  Please sign up here to help provide items for our breakfast.  Please have your youth help you cook, as they should be “hosting/providing” for a group that they will be a part of one day. So start thinking of your favorite breakfast casserole recipe (crockpot easy or in a dish).

Youth Ice Skating & Christmas Party  

On Dec. 17th ALL YOUTH will meet in the Parker Library at 2:00 PM, upstairs in Event Hall B. Students need to bring 3 items 1) a party snack to share or a plate cookies 2) a wrapped gift no more than $10 in value OR a nice gift (worth fighting over) from your home they may no longer want 3) And $7.50 for ice-skating AFTER our party.  Students MUST be picked up no later than 5:00 from the Ice Trail/Library.  I will also need a few parents to visit with, I mean, help with the party/supervise skating!  Let me know – thanks!

Youth Sunday Drama Sign Up  

Yes, it’s time again to prepare for a Youth Led Sunday!  Students will be participating to help run the entire service at 8, 9:30 and 11.  We’ll need greeters and ushers, singers and this year a drama team!  No lines to memorize, and it will be easy – as most of the group is acting/reacting together.  It will all be set to music – I NEED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE!  If your student is interested in being a part of this powerful message, please sign up here, so I can begin communicating with the team.

Can You Provide A Meal in 2018?

New Youth Calendars

When you come to church for Christmas Eve, grab a new calendar from the top shelf of the Youth News Rack (in the Narthex).  If you’re out of town, grab one in January. They’re always lime green.
