United Methodist Youth Fellowship

The church currently has two youth groups, one comprised of grades 6 through 8 (Middle School) and the other of grades 9 through 12 (High School). The High Schoolers meet Sundays 5:30-7:00 p.m. and the Junior Highs meet 5:30-7:00 p.m. for recreation, music and study. All youth, whether members or not, are welcome. Meet at the church unless otherwise announced. Dinners are served at 5:30 p.m.

We are changing the structure of our Sunday Night Youth Group Meetings by resourcing and supporting our new Youth Leaders. High School Leaders will be Marcus and Greta Metcalf, Lisa and Kent Briggs, and Manning Wimberley. Middle School Leaders are Laura Spaulding and Molly Leikam.

Youth Leaders will meet once a month to provide input and to review already prepared Sunday night programming. Additional youth leadership will be through our Sunday school teachers, Julie Barnes for High School and Eric Ridenour for Middle School.

 

Are your Ready for THE C.L.I.M.B.?

Cullowhee Youth Group begins a new school year on September 12 from 5:30-7:00 with both youth members and parents meeting together. During dinner, youth and their families will be introduced to the new Youth Leaders for Middle and High School as well as given information and calendars for our 2010-2011 meetings.

 We will also introduce the fall programming theme, THE C.L.I.M.B. or Christian Living IS a Mission of Boldness. The C.L.I.M.B. will incorporate rock climbing as both an example and an activity of how Christians are to live a Bold Life of Discipleship. Even though our Sunday night discussion and activities will be typically separated by Middle School and High School meetings, discussion will follow the same theme for both groups.
