We are hosting the Christmas Parade Party again this year on Saturday December 3rd from 8am-10:45am. Our Youth will be leading crafts for the children as they wait for the parade to come by. They will also be selling hot chocolate and donuts to begin raising funds for this year’s summer mission.
Children's Ministry (PreK-4th)
Children’s Sunday School November 27th at 10am: This Sunday our Children continue their study of the Epistles & Revelation. Leaders: Allison Milliron & Linda Clayton.
Preteen Ministry (5th-6th)
Preteen Sunday School Canceled until further notice. Due to low attendance and difficulty securing 2 adult volunteers each week, we are combining the Preteen Sunday School with Children’s Sunday School until the new year. This week, November 27th at 10am, all children through 6th grade will continue the What’s In the Bible curriculum on the Epistles and Revelation (a 4 week study through Dec. 18th).
Youth Ministry (7th-12th)
Youth Sunday School November 27th at 10am: This Sunday our Youth will watch & discuss the Bible Project videos on the Books of Peter. Leaders: Jaime Knight & Roberta Sanders.
ATTENTION - We are ordering Youth Group shirts! We want to be able to represent our group at the Christmas Parade and other events. Please fill out this online form to order your size: https://www.customink.com/g/dak0-00cp-64qw.
You will pay directly to the church by check or cash. The order closes Monday November 14th. You have the option of t-shirt ($10), long-sleeve t-shirt ($15) or hoodie ($30). ZUMC is contributing $10 towards the cost of only one item through budget funds, so if you wish to order multiple items you will need to pay the full cost of the extra items (T-$20, Long Sleeve T-$25, Hoodie-$40). We wanted to give some options, but there is a 6 item minimum for each style to make, so if we don't get enough orders for the long-sleeves and sweatshirts, we will just order the t-shirts.
