Sunday Morning Treats 

Youth meets for fellowship in the second-floor Youth Lounge before worship every Sunday. It’s a time of fun, laughter, and good company. We depend on volunteers to provide donuts, chocolate milk, juice, or similar morning snacks for this gathering time. If you are willing to provide for a Sunday or two, sign up by the second-floor youth rooms or text Bob for the open dates.

Looking Ahead:

Connection Point resumes on September 4. The High School boys’ small group meets at Pastor Bob’s house at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays for dinner, Bible study, and discussion on various topics.

Confirmation Class 2025 Begins September 15 at 4:30 p.m.

It is for students in the 6th through 8th grades. Information about the Confirmation program will be mailed in early August, and parents of eligible students should contact Pastor Bob to make sure they’re on the mailing list.  

TAS resumes on September 5, 2024

TAS means “Thursdays After School” and was a popular PUMC Youth program until COVID made us shut it down. This program for middle school students meets at the church on Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. At TAS, students are provided a vitally crucial after-school snack, a time to hang out with friends, games, and a Bible-based discussion. TAS will be led by Pastor Bob. If you are an interested middle schooler, sign up by the youth room, and we will send you more information as our start date draws near.

November 1-3, 2024 Fall Retreat Weekend at Camp Indicoso. 

Middle and High School youth are invited to this favorite and meaningful weekend event for our youth. Detailed flyers will be available in late August. Adults interested in chaperoning the retreat should contact Bob asap.
