What an incredible summer it has been! We ended the Sunday School year with a huge celebration, congratulating all of our Sunday school teachers and students and going outside for a huge party. We welcomed our new Music Director, Catherine Nesbit on July 13th; what an incredible gift she shares with us each and every Sunday! We had an awesome UM ARMY mission trip in late July as 20 of us headed to Massachusetts to be the hands and feet of Christ to over 30 clients!!! I was also able to help at a Conference Youth Leadership Camp in August. What a fantastic group of youth combined with a great program. I hope that our youth will attend next year!
Our family also had a fantastic vacation to California. What an awesome time to slow down and find some rest and renewal with those we love. I pray that you also had time to reconnect with God, family, and friends this summer.
So, I come to this new season feeling filled and flying high spiritually. I look forward to our journey together over the course of the next year. As we continue to worship, pray, learn, share, and grow together, I also hope we can share the gift we have been given here at YUMC with our larger community. I think we are so blessed to have this special place to share our love with God and one another; now I think we need to share more with those around us.
As we prepare to kick-off another year of Sunday School, Youth Group, choir and music ministry, adult education, small groups, mission, fellowship, along with inspiring worship, invite your family, friends,
co-workers, and colleagues to come and join us here at YUMC! There is so much waiting for us this next year! I look forward to seeing where the Holy Spirit will take us as together we grow and serve through Jesus Christ!
