Hope to see old and new faces this year! I'm very glad that 9 youth showed up to the Kick-off Party at Bend in the River!
First Jr. Youth Group meeting: September 6th (Sunday) from 11am to 2pm
First Sr. Youth Group meeting: September 13th (Sunday) from 11am to 2pm
Both meetings will be held in the Youth Room at Canton UMC... Enter through the glass doors on Chapel Street and follow the signs... Up two flights of stairs!
Right now, each group is meeting only once a month. If we have youth interested in meeting MORE than that, we can work that out. We plan on holding one event or fundraiser each month as well. This month, we are selling Little Ceaser's Pizza Kits. Our goal is to raise $500 and use some of the money to makeover our Youth Room. We will also set aside some money to attend 4Word '11, a gathering of United Methodist Youth from New York, Vermont, and parts of Pennsylvania.
During our first meeting, we will talk about the types of events our group is interested in, fundraisers we'd like to do, service oppourtunities we can do as a group, and we'll get to know each other. We'll tentatively plan our next year's schedule. We'll also have lunch together, do some "classic Youth Group stuff," and have a lot of fun. So bring friends, ideas, and smiles!
