Sunday Morning Opportunities:
Sunday School, Sundays at 9:45 a.m.

Up With Puppets, Sundays at 10:45 a.m. (during second worship service)
Expressions of God happen in many different ways at First UMC. The puppet ministry is one expression that truly makes our understanding of scripture fun. Opportunities for youth to speak out through the puppets in worship here and at other churches abound. Practice, practice, practice, and lots of fun help the youth bring God’s message of love in a way that everyone can understand.
Time: Sunday Mornings, 10:45 – noon, Room W203

Wednesday Evening Opportunities:
Confirmation Class, (8th grade), Wednesdays from 4:00-6:00 p.m., Multipurpose Room W201
Youth 8th grade and up have the opportunity to explore what it means to be a Christian in the United Methodist Church. Pastor Fred leads the class, along with other adult mentors. A study of scripture, tradition, reason, and experience helps the youth discover how God is working in their lives, giving them a basis upon which to build informed decisions about their life and faith.
