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!
