Youth Sunday at First UMC!







WOW! The energy was present in full-force this morninig! From the opening of the early service at 8:00 a.m. to the laughter ringing out from the kitchen following the monthly potluck, there was something for everyone today.

Pastor Charles led the early service in a remembrance of Reformation Sunday with the sermon, "The Reformation of Katie Luther." Katie was the wife of Martin Luther and a powerhouse of the early reformation.

In between services, there was faith formation classes taking place, choir rehersal, fellowship, farewells offered to Rick and Sue Trollier and much, much more.

The family service at 10:00 a.m. was a wild ride with our dynamic youth taking charge of the service. Following a presentation from the congregation to the Trollier's (who are moving to Colorado), the youth took off on a wonderful service highlighting their ministry trip to St. Louis this past summer.

The fellowship time which followed had a terrific turnout, and the food, as always, was worth every calorie!

There is still more to come tonight, and the week ahead promises to continue to offer ministries which make disciples who make a difference.
