Easter's Coming

Its getting closer and closer to Easter and the youth ministry at FUMCTR has a lot going on!  Here are just a few of the things you'll see around our church as we prepare for Easter:

Bible Study will meet just three more times before the end of the season.  We meet at Brian's on April 6th, in the media room for a special worship night on April 13th and then one final time April 27th with KFC for a closing ceremony.


Youth Group will continue to meet on Sundays with an important meeting April 10th for UMARMY.  We will be explaining a bit about UMARMY and filling out permission forms for the trip, so parents need to come in and sign forms! April 17th will be a special field trip as we consider Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. We'll need some parents to help drive us to our secret destination.  We could also use some youth to help with our Egg Hunt that day.

No Youth Group April 24th (its Easter) or May 8th (its Mother's Day) and instead of the usual May 1st youth meeting we'll be heading out to Yellow Brick Road for some ice cream!  We will have a couple of tabled reserved from 6 to 8pm so instead of meeting at church, we'll just let people come in and out of Yellow Brick Road to hang out with our group for as long or as short of a time as they want.  Bring your family, bring your friends, bring whoever!

Also, don't miss our 30-hour famine where we help those who need our help the most! We will have our overnight event April 29th-30th including a scavenger hunt, a service project and plenty of time to experience what hungry people go through every single day.  Join us because its fun and because its good for you!

30 Hour Famine

The 30 hour famine draws neigh. Fasting for our youth group begins at 930am Friday. I'll send a text out to those who have it to remind you. Remember, we meet together at FUMCTR at 7pm and end at 4pm. We will break our fast together at 330pm with a simple meal. If parents are willing to wait half an hour or come in and help we can use a hand cleaning up at the end of the event.

We will be off site for part of this event, so if you are getting picked up or dropped off other than start or finish times please tell me. There will also be a presentation to the congregation on Sunday morning sharing what we've done. We present at the end of the 8am service, during the contemporary service and at the beginning of the 11am service. We'll put together specific plans at the famine.

If you can, bring some drinks to share with everyone else. Get excited because we have lots of games, tribes for teams, and so much celebrating to do for all the funds we've raised! Join us and bring a friend because this is one of our best events! Any questions, call or text. See you Friday for the famine!
