Rooted In Christ
Trenton United Methodist Church Youth
"Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness."
Colossians 2:7
What's Going On?
So, what is going on with our youth? We are currently working our way through a 5 week series on Galatians about the goals we have in our faith. Each Wednesday we start with a little fun before we buckle down for our lesson. Below you will find the outline of this series. Each Wednesday ends with the youth dividing into small groups for a discussion on the lesson. During this time the middle schoolers meet with one youth leader & a volunteer, while the high schoolers meet with another youth leader & a volunteer. We have found that this really helps the youth to feel more comfortable and open in their conversations.
WEEK 1: The goal is freedom.
WEEK 2: The goal is to live from approval, not for approval.
WEEK 3: The goal is to live with the end in mind.
WEEK 4: The goal is to love people, not judge people.
WEEK 5: The goal is to grow.
Our goal is once a month for the youth to have a fun activity planned after a Sunday church service. Last month we walked to Los Tres Amigos for lunch and had a blast playing kickball & dodgeball in the gym. Check out our current calendar of events below for more fun events planned.
We currently are assisting with the church food drive. Right now the middle schoolers are in the lead. Each youth leader is assigned to a group. Whichever group brings the MOST items for the food drive will get to PIE "their" leader in the face! He or she will be pied on Wednesday, October 5th. Feel free to bring in items....or drop them off at the church office. Make sure you indicate which group your items are for.
