Youth Group Events

Family Connections

A few years back, parents and children would gather at CUMC once a month to share a meal and have fun together called Mid-Month Meal.  On Wednesday, September 29th we will meet at CUMC for a small dinner and to play Bingo.  Not only is this a great event for families, but we want to bring together new families to CUMC with established families.  Please be sure to put this on your calendars!

 

Confirmation

Our first confirmation gathering will be at Pastor Brian’s house on Sunday, September 12 at 6:00pm.  Dessert will be served.  All parents, confirmations students, and mentors are asked to attend.  All students in 6th-8th grade are invited to participate in our three-year confirmation program.  If you have any questions, please see Justin Spurlock.

 

FiL (Faith in Life)

Our Sunday morning youth group meetings will begin again on Sunday, September 5.  All 6th – 12th grade students are invited to attend.  Youth can go to the CAVE right after the children’s sermon.  FiL is  a time for teens to discuss how faith and life intersect, work on upcoming worship or service projects, and generally hang-out and have fun.  Bagels or donuts are generally provided.

 

Randall Cave Project

Have you been in the CAVE lately?  Have you walked into the Movie Station Sunday School room since the end of June?  Our very own Brad Randall completed his Eagle Scout project this summer here at CUMC.  He organized a team to paint, clean, organize, and build some shelving for these two rooms in CUMC’s basement.  The rooms look fabulous!  Please take a look at the rooms and give a big thanks to Brad Randall for all of his hard work.

 

Family Times - Family Faith Lab

The ancient book of Deuteronomy creates a daily cycle by which your entire family can engage in faith conversations.  Our family faith lab for Fall 2010 is called Family Times and embraces this natural rhythm found in Deuteronomy.  Here are the four actions of this cycle:

MEAL TIME – When You Sit At Home
Focused discussion as a teacher to establish core values

DRIVE TIME – When You Walk Along The Road
Informal dialogue as a friend to help your child interpret life

BED TIME – When You Lie Down
Intimate conversation as a counselor to listen to your child

MORNING TIME – When You Get Up
Encouraging words as a coach to give value and instill purpose

Training for the Family Times will be held during our Family Connection events.
