Just in case you didn’t get the email…
Grace and peace.
What a whirl wind of a summer it has been. The conference held three in person events over the summer: Kaleidoscope, Breakaway, ACS for Youth. Each event had its own challenges, but it was a great time for the youth. The next conference event is Pilgrimage and this year they are holding it both in person and online. For more information on Pilgrimage go to https://nccpilgrimage.org. Registration opens on September 1st – THAT is in TWO weeks! (YAY!)
Now for some district updates. I am excited to announce that we now have an application form for those youth who would like to be a part of the District Youth Leadership Team. The district has been divided into 5 sub-districts and it would be great to have at least two youth from each district (there is a list on the form).
To apply go to https://forms.gle/xPzo4tCnHC6kUmun9.
The district is still collecting information of the youth leaders, paid and volunteer, in the district. If you have yet to fill out this form, please take a minute to fill it out so that we have the latest contact information. Pastors, if you have a youth ministry at your church, please pass this link along to the leader(s). https://forms.gle/aCYiuEhx4JqcoC1SA
What is your youth group doing – working in the community, ongoing mission, back to school bash – the district wants to hear about it. I am looking for stories of youth in action to highlight it in the newsletter. Send me an email or give me a call. (see email and phone below)
The district youth have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/FairwayDistrictYouthNCCUMC), an Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/fairwaydistrictyouth/), and a website (https://fairwaydistrictnc.org/youth/). I invite you to follow and like the social media pages and bookmark the website.
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or ideas you can send me, Justin Wells, an email at jwells@nccumc.org or call me at 910-591-8156.
