Dear parents and students,
To quote Bob Dylan, "These times are a changin'." It seems that each day, there are different protocols and statements. I pray that each of you is well and safe, and please reach out if your church family can assist you in any way. The church staff is continuing to work and reach out.
The youth ministry will be using different means to stay connected to our students. We are Zooming on Wednesdays and Sundays at 3:00 PM and I am sending the link before each gathering. Computers or phones can be used. On phones, students will need the Zoom.us app. We are also working on daily devotionals to be posted at 12:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Another way we will be communicating with you is through snail mail, and getting the whole family involved in some fun games. I hope you will join in.
Summer trips are still planned and each group we are working with is staying current with us with current information.
We will keep up to date information on our website, Facebook, and through email. We want to ensure everyone remains connected as a church family and stay in the loop. There are a couple of different programs sending church emails.
Please check your junk/spam folders to ensure that you do not miss any church emails. If you find these in your junk/spam folder, you may want to add the following emails to your "safe sender" or contact list:
communications@longviewfumc.org
noreply@shelbynexchms.com
jcrane@longviewfumc.org
AND
any church staff member email you recognize ending in "@longviewfumc.org" (please contact us if you are unsure if it is a legitimate church staff email).
If you have any changes to your contact information, or need additional help ensuring you receive our communications, please call the church office at 903-753-4463 and ask to speak with Ashley Fulton, and she can assist you! And as always, I am available to help you at 903-918-7801. I will be posting periodically on Instagram and SnapChat and contacting students to check on them.
Let me hear from you! Encourage your students to text, call, and check in on each other, and I would love to chat with them anytime.
In Christ,
Janice Crane
FUMC Youth Director
