Our District Lock-in is just a week away! We'll meet March 19th at First United Methodist Church of Toms River at 8pm (129 Chestnut Street Toms River, NJ). We plan to have an early breakfast and finish at 8am with worship together.
We have a theme for our night: countries of the world! We are asking for a one dollar donation to the Russia missions team in keeping with our theme. We'll have a worship service, midnight bowling ($10 if you plan on bowling), video game tournaments, ping pong, volleyball and basketball. We also have lots of group activities and quick games for a ton of fun.
We don't plan on having time for sleep because its an all-night event, although there will be designated rooms for people to rest in if they need it. There should be somewhere between 50 and 100 people for this event. We'll provide breakfast, but we are still looking for chaperones to drive youth to and from the bowling alley.
If you're on facebook find fumctr youth group and rsvp for this event! That's about it. If you have any questions or want more details email me or call me on my cell!

Confirmation Class 2010
Confirmation class has begun! Lent is marked not only by sacrifice and repentance, but also by study! We have a huge class of 29 'confirmands' that will be studying the word of God and the history of the Church. There are also 14 mentors that will help our young people understand the scripture as they read through it. Each week our confirmands will read and journal on the Gospel of Luke and spend an hour in class studying different parts of biblical theology. By the end I'm sure we'll have some real bible scholars in our church! Here's a slideshow of our confirmands; enjoy! (note: josh and mike are not pictured)
