Destination unknown
trip provides Youth with an experiential parable lesson
On Sunday afternoon, Sept. 28, FPC
Youth traveled to the childhood farm of Youth Director Geri Doll. There her
brother Evan Yoder demonstrated how the weeds and the wheat grow together in a
special hands-on lesson on the Parable of the Weeds. The youth also took a
hayrack ride through a buffalo pasture and sampled home-grown popcorn, zucchini
muffins and fresh picked apples from the farm.
Kids Shine at Youth Sunday
On Sunday, August 24, FPC youth led the
entire worship service. Their musical and spiritual talents were shared with
the congregation in a service that encouraged everyone to see “The Picture of
Jesus”

Over 40 people
attended our first Family First Friday!
Thank you to everyone who attended our
first event.
Thanks for your
service to the homeless!
FPC youth packed peanut
butter and jelly sack lunches to distribute at the “overflow of the overflow”
shelter. The youth passed out the lunches after preparing and serving dinner to
the homeless last month. In addition to Geri Doll and the youth group, special
thanks also is extended to the Stephen Ministers, Roger Lyon and others for
their help and assistance in feeding the group of homeless at First Methodist
Church. A special thanks to Kristen and Steve Ivy for taking the lead on this
project, and finding groups to work.
