The church is full of opportunities to volunteer.  We do our best to try to let everyone know of opportunities but if you see an opportunity where you see a need, please let us know so that we can fill that need.
A lot has been happening with YOUR youth group this summer! Along with a full slate of fun summer activities, our students have been discussing the kind of youth group we want to be.  We know that the things we do today have eternal impact, and who we are today is impacted by the people around us; our faith, our families, and our communities.  For this reason, we've decided to name our youth group "Legacy Youth".  We want to be a youth group that lives into the legacy of Memorial United Methodist Church, and we want to be a youth group that leaves a legacy of following Christ for the generations that follow us.

Pray that we can accomplish this, and please find a way to get involved with these youth, whether it be through offering to provide food on Sunday nights, showing up and building relationships with our youth, driving us to events, or helping us plan and build for the future of this vital ministry.

In other news, on September 7th, we'll be heading to Universal Studios in Orlando for Rock The Universe.  If you're a parent of a middle or high schooler, and your student is interested in going with us, please see the Legacy Youth Parents Facebook page or stop by the Church Office to pick up a permission slip and find out more information about this awesome time of thrill rides and rockin' Christian music.
That's all for now!

If you would like to be or already are a leader serving on a committee (Finance, Trustees, SPRC, or Church Council) we are hosting a 3-week training.  Beginning   in the Rob Reynolds Hall we will cover what the committees are called to be and do; the type of skills, gifts, graces and temperaments for each  committee member: and the spiritual practices needed to be a healthy sustained leader.

The class will be fun, practical and interactive.  This class is meant to help you discern if you are called to serve on one of the four administrative  committees in our church.  You are not committing to serve on a committee by attending, so come and check it out to see if God is calling you to serve.  Please  RSVP by calling the office at 863-465-2422.
