Weekly Youth Email
February 19, 2021
Hi everyone!

What a crazy week! Anyone else tired of living through historical events? We hope your families have stayed safe and warm this week.* Thank goodness the weather changes so quickly in Texas!

Hope you like nature and/or animals--if not, you'll learn to love them! We're starting a new UMYF series this week to join the church-wide Lenten study of Creation Care. Make sure to grab a kit from the church to go along with the study.

Also, there's an updated in-person volunteer opportunity as well as details for a Sunrise Service planning meeting. Check it all out below!

As always, you can find important links on our Linktree page.


*If your family has been impacted by the winter storm, please do not hesitate to contact Rev. Larry Gipson at 469-745-8003,
Gracie Millard at 214-662-6589, or the church at 972-771-5500.
UMYF | Sundays, 5-6pm

New series alert! We're kicking off the series on Creation Care! What's our relationship to creation? Whose is it? Check out the worship video above (or click on one of the links below) for prayer, a worship song, and the message! Then join us at UMYF for small groups on Sunday at 5pm
on Zoom!

Youth Bible Study | Sundays, 10-10:45 am 

Our first story of God is God creating. This scripture also captures the first things God says to humanity--must be pretty important!

Discussions on Scripture from Traditional and Open Door sermons.
Volunteer Opportunity | February 28, 12-1pm

Our last attempt at this got a little snowed-out. Join us Sunday, February 28, IN PERSON to put together care packages for the healthcare workers in our community! We'll include the cards y'all have been making in the packages.
We'll meet in the MP rooms from 12-1pm.

If you need ideas for making the cards, click here.


Lenten Study | Creation Care

We are so excited for this! During the season of Lent, the whole church is focused on the theme of creation care. The messages, missions, and studies (including ours!) will be centered on caring for God's creation.
Each week begins a new theme. With each theme, we have a movie, discussion questions, and a field trip suggestion for the whole family! These packets are not just for children but are designed for families with youth, too! You can pick up your Creation Care packet at the church today!
Sunrise Service Planning Meeting
February 21, 6-7pm

Stick around after UMYF on Sunday to plan for the Sunrise Service! If you are interested in serving at this worship service, make sure to attend this meeting. (Use the UMYF Zoom link.)
