Praise The Lord : The 8th grade Confirmation class held their retreat at

Cedar Grove Retreat Center , April 12-14th . 30 Confirmands , 14 youth leadership team members and 7 adults spent a weekend learning about their purpose , what it means to be a Christian and how to stay connected to God . It was a great time of fellowship together , learning about God and growing in faith ! We are excited for the Confirmands , who will join the church on Sunday , May 12th .
On April 28th the youth of UCUMC led both worship services , from start to finish ! They led worship focused on our theme for the year , “ Life Has Questions … God Has Answers ” ( 1 Peter 3:15 ) through singing , speaking , ushering , greeting , helping in Super Hero Central , ringing bells , puppets , and everything in between ! We are thankful for a church body that supports the youth and allows them to take over for one Sunday each year !
