Youth
Our
Youth Ministry exists to expose teenagers to God’s love, to equip them to exalt
God, to enjoy other believers, and experience the work of the ministry.
Our church provides many exciting and growth-centered experiences:
UMYF Sunday
evenings 6:00 p.m., September - June, and at other special designated times we
share in youth ministry for those 11 - 18 years of age. The emphasis is upon study, fellowship, and
outreach.
Throughout
the year additional activities are organized for the youth. They include winter ski trips, summer
retreats, concerts, movies, lock-ins, hay rides, camp fires, trips to other
youth, and service projects. Teens can
expect lots of music, food, and fun as they focus on Jesus. One of these additional activities unique to
Morris is Praise Café. This event is help periodically throughout the year with
other youth groups frequently invited.
It always proves to be a time for praise, food, music, drama, dance, and
good fellowship for all adults and youth alike.
Beyond
our local church, many of our youth participate in District and Conference
events including Summer Youth Celebration, District picnics, and Fall Workshop
.
Sunday School Children
are offered an interesting and exciting curriculum in a nurturing classroom
setting. Several different Sunday School Classes are ongoing arranged by age

include Pre-elementary ( 21/2 years -
Kindergarten), Lower Elementary (1-3 grade), Upper Elementary (4-5 grade), and
