YOUTH Fellowship

NEXT YOUTH GROUP: WEDNESDAY, April 14th

We're in the yellow phase and cleared for safe gatherings!

We are thrilled to be back in person starting Wednesday, March 31st. We'll meet from 6:30pm to 8pm in the parking lot for pizza and fun. If it rains, we'll use the Wing in the Woods with the doors open. Churches have had to open differently than schools, so we'll still have to be really careful with our COVID-19 protocols, so wear a mask and use plenty of hand sanitizer throughout the night. RSVP using our group page (button above).

CONFIRMATION 2021-2022

We are pleased to offer Confirmation to students entering grades 9-12 in the 2021-2022 school year. Since activities over the summer of 2021 will count toward Confirmation requirements, we encourage you to register any interested student now. ANY high school student, whether previously confirmed or not, is welcome to sign up and participate in the Confirmation service at the conclusion of the class in May. Confirmation is a youth discipleship experience--meaning students actively participate in spiritual practices common to any average member of our congregation. This includes:
-worship attendance
-community service
-church involvement
The class will include a one day-long retreat in the fall to kick off the year and classes, approximately biweekly, on Sundays. Registration information will be emailed out in the coming weeks, but if you have questions in the meantime, please contact lauren.wilken@polkcityumc.org. If you are interested in serving as a mentor to Confirmation students for the 2021-2022 school year, please click the following link to join the leader group and get more information.
