Game Day was a lot of fun, and we had a great turn out!  Maybe someday we’ll include a chili dinner on a cold winter’s day!

Sign Up Now – Ropes Course Team & Faith Building

We would love for every youth to participate, so we can really get to know and trust one another as a group. We will work our way from the low course to the high course, so this could take 3-4 hours. Cost is $20 a person. If you plan to attend email me ([email protected]) or sign up on the clipboard in the youth room. I will definitely need some parent drivers.  The ropes course is in Larkspur and we will meet in the middle north parking lot at 11:45 for a 12 departure.  Students will call parents on the way home for a more accurate pick up time.  Sign up now!

Special Homecoming Dance

Senior High – We have a unique opportunity to reach out to the special needs community on September 30th.  Here at the church there will be a Homecoming Dance.  If you’re available to attend you’ll experience something wonderful and amazing that will keep you returning year after year.  Arrive all dressed and spiffy at 5:45, so we can line the walks and welcome the attendees with claps and cheers as they arrive. Spend the evening visiting and dancing with some wonderful young adults.  They will have a great time, and so will you!  Friday, September 30, from 5:45 – 8:30.

Junior High Lock-In

Put it on your calendar – Friday, September 16, 7PM at the church.  Pick up from the church will be Saturday, at 9 AM.  Students need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow (air mattress or cot if desired). Even if your child says they are not going to sleep, please have them bring these items!  I will also need 2-3 brave adults!  I just need some extra eyes/supervision.  Email me if you’re able to help out.  [email protected]

You’re Invited!

Being a teen can be a tough part of life.  You’re busy…there’s a lot of expectations…problem are real…and you just can’t turn them off or make them go away.  The good news is that there are tools that can help you deal with real life, and even become the most effective version of yourself.  Join us during Youth Group this semester as we put a Christian spin on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.  Even if you can’t make it to every Sunday, join us when you can because some Habits are better than no Habits!

School Supplies Needed – Let’s Help!

PUMC is working with 6 other churches to provide a winter shelter for the Douglas County school families who are homeless.  These means they have students in school just like you!  Let’s help out and flood the supply box with paper, spirals, pencils, pens, calculators, etc.  They also need bars of soap and little shampoos and conditioners if you have any!

2 Opportunities for Volunteer Hours!

1. The Feed My Starving Children Fundraising committee is planning a family event on Sunday, Sept. 11th from9am till about noon.  It’s a “Feed-Raiser” Painting Party. We need extra hands for cleaning up paint spills, distributing supplies and walking people through the steps. Would you be interested in helping with the event for a couple of hours for community service hours?  Please text Jen Huey at 720-878-4954if you’re available.
2. Joyful Noise Children’s Choir needs some teenage volunteers.  If you’re in 8th grade or older, you’re eligible to help! Joyful Noise meets from 4-5:30 on Wednesdays. You can receive community service hours, but you’ll also be rewarded emotionally as these children will look up to you and love you!  Contact Krisha at (303-518-7797) krisha@parkerumc.org or Wendy McDevitt at (303-503-4489) [email protected]
