Spring Retreat + Confirmation + Banquet
UMYF Spring Retreat was full of joy and connection. The theme was "Days God Gave" by Matt Hammett. This was the first Spring Retreat away since 2019 and it brought many other firsts: boating, canoeing, new games, youth bringing their own fishing gear, a foot-powered horse trough handwashing station, and apparently a new friend named Tetanus Pole. None of the rest of us knows what that means, either. You can see photos on our Instagram.
Fourteen youth were confirmed on Pentecost Sunday, and it was a time of great rejoicing for our congregation. These young people have studied and prayed hard this semester with Rev. Lee and we thank God for them.
End-of-Year Banquet was celebrated with a Banquet, awards, recognitions, and a lot of fun.
Now, it's time for "SUMMER UMYF" - almost every Sunday at 7pm. Relaxed fellowship. For incoming 7th Graders and up.
SPUMC is hiring a Nursery Care Provider and the SPUMC Nursery School is hiring Weekday Teachers and Teaching Assistants.
Throughout the summer we're exploring scripture through the insights of contemporary women who are shaping the church today. While women were the first to proclaim the resurrection, their voices have often been overlooked in theology, preaching, and Christian writing. This series celebrates the wisdom, creativity, and faith of women whose work helps us see the gospel in fresh ways.
In the weeks ahead, we'll engage the writings and ideas of Kate Bowler, Barbara Brown Taylor, Rachel Held Evans, Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel, Lizzie McManus-Dail, and more. Through their perspectives, we'll revisit familiar scriptures, ask new questions, and discover fresh invitations to follow Jesus in our world today.
