Friendsgiving will be BIGGER and better than ever this year! We will be meeting at First UMC Winter Garden at 5 pm on November 22 for a potluck dinner, basketball, volleyball, bracelet-making, worship, and to make tons of new friends.

This will be a joint High School event with our friends from FUMC Winter Garden and FUMC Winter Park. Meet us in Winter Garden (125 N. Lakeview Ave) and be sure to bring a side dish or dessert to share.

Don't forget to sign up below! It will take A LOT of food to feed everyone, so please help us out by bringing something in.

The second link is just to let us know you're coming, so we have an accurate count. Thanks!

Let's celebrate all the hard work our youth have put in to prepare this amazing show by supporting our Concession Stand Fundraiser, which will provide much-needed funds for Youth Ministry Trips and Retreats!

The dates are Friday, November 20 to Sunday the 22nd, the weekend before Thanksgiving.

If you can help donate snacks, please click the link below or just bring in full-sized candy (such as M&Ms, Reese's, or Sour Patch Kids), popcorn, bottles of water, or cans of soda to the Youth Center.

If you would like to donate time to help us sell concessions, please sign up below. We need 2 more volunteers for Friday.

Thanks so much, everyone! We couldn't do it without your help!

The competition is heating up for the Thanksgiving Food Drive to help our neighbors!

Kids from preschool, elementary, and youth are collecting items to make Thanksgiving baskets that will be donated this month.

As a Youth Ministry, our specific goal is to collect as many cans of CORN as possible in order to give Brandon a pie in the face on Wednesday, November 18!

So get out there and shop for corn, and drop your cans in the Youth Center bins!

IT'S CORN!!

Introducing High School Drop-In!

Looking for a place to land after school? High School Drop-In is a welcoming space for high school students to hang out, work on homework or study for tests, and connect with friends and youth ministry leaders here on campus.

Drop-In will be available after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays ONLY from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

This is when we can provide the adult supervision required by our church’s safety policy. This helps us care for our students, staff, and volunteers while continuing to offer a place for students to gather. As more approved adult volunteers become available, we hope to offer additional days.

For now, please plan your after-school visits for Tuesdays and Wednesdays!
