UCCH Youth Ministry...where everyone is welcome.
At United Church we understand that students are our future; therefore, we embrace the opportunity to provide sacred space for imaginative ideas to take root, forums for open discussions and conversations to take place and the opportunity to get involved in making a difference …in the local community and in our world at large. At United Church we want students both to identify and take hold of their voice as it possesses the strength and the uniqueness that through God’s love can and will be the “difference” for somebody else.
Sunday evening youth meetings allow students time to form community as a group through social interaction, cultural engagement, reflective-intensive time, and various other activities. Both the youth and adult volunteers are responsibly engaged in covenantal relationship as it relates to the group working to provide mutual respect and openness to all involved, as well as intentional inclusiveness for visitors, guest speakers or those we encounter in other communities.
Friends and visitors are always welcome!
Sunday Evening Schedule
4:30 pm ReMix Youth Choir
5:30 pm Middle School Youth Group 6:30 pm Dinner for All Youth
7:00 pm Sr. High Youth Group
The Middle and High School students meet separately on Sunday evenings to allow each group to form its own identity, share and engage in topical conversations that are age and content appropriate to their intellectual as well as social development. The senior high students will experience struggles and controversies in their lives that middle schoolers are not yet facing, and middle schoolers alike will have needs that high schoolers are unaware of. However, we do provide time for our entire group to gather and share experiences, laughter, prayers and fellowship during our shared meal time at 6 pm and after dinner for our opening gathering at 6:20.
REMIX is a musically driven venue for middle and high school students interested in the arts, including: vocal and instrumental music, as well as dramatic interpretation. ReMix will perform in about six worship services per year, in both the local community as well as on tour, and will stage a spring musical. If interested, please contact Jenny Anderson or Jenny Shultz at unitedyouthgroup@gmail.com or just simply show up Sunday evenings at 5 pm.
