Hi Friends!

I hope you are enjoying your summer! I can't believe we are already in July!  

July is one of my favorite months at YUMC because we have Mission Trips, Ice Cream Tours & Float Your Boat. We have so many opportunities to be together, to see one another at our best and sometimes at our worst. I can't wait to do all the things with our youth, adults and young adults! 

Before we jump into July, I invite you to take a few moments to reflect on your intentions for this month. 

Write down or reflect on your answers to these questions:

1. What goals do you have for this month?
2. How can you connect with God this month?  
3. How will you practice self care this month? 
4. How will you care for others this month

If you feel comfortable with sharing, I would love to hear how you answer these questions!  

You can reply to this email or text me!

To close, below is an amazing (in my opinion) new song by Toby Mac & Blessing Offor. 

It is full of joy, worship and screams summer! Enjoy!

Have a great week, all!   Love in Christ, Denise 

Float Your Boat 5:30pm tonight! 

We will meet at the Core Creek Park Boat rental parking lot.  

We will hop into boats and paddle out to the other end of the lake.  We will eat dinner (Bring a bagged dinner) and then paddle around before heading back to land.  

If you have a boat or paddle board, bring it! 

If you don't, we have two 2-person kayaks ready for you! 

There IS a storm set to come through this evening.  But we will plan to meet at evaluate when we are there. 

Please sign up so that I know we have enough boats! 

WEDNESDAY!

Meet at YUMC at 1:30pm.

We will hop in cars and head to a mystery ice cream location.

We will order ice cream, work through a devotion and have fun! Friends welcome!

Please sign up by the morning of the

Where are we going?  A hint text will be sent out Wednesday.

IT'S FLAT JESUS! 

It's summertime!  That means that all of us. . . kids, youth, young adults and adults will be doing things we don't usually do during the rest of the year.

This summer, let's do something fun as a church.

Let's take Jesus with us and share our journeys !  

Here's how it works: 

1. Cut out flat Jesus (Click the picture for a pdf version)

2. Get pictures of Jesus doing different things with you all summer 

Here's a few picture ideas to get you started: 

You and Jesus with an important person in your life.  

Jesus relaxing in the sun, Jesus by a body of water 

Jesus eating dinner, You and Jesus talking, You and Jesus in the car, plane, bike or train, etc. 

For more inspiration, here's the video from last year's Flat Jesus Journey!

As you take the pictures or by August 28th, email photos to Denise@yardleyumc.org 

We will compile all our pictures for our fall kick off.  

Keep Flat Jesus with you and you'll be surprised what adventures you can have together! 

No one is too old or too young for this activity. This summer, let's take Jesus everywhere we go!
