Youth Music Tour
Youth Music Tour was a total blast! Here are a few photos from our experience of being Shaped to Serve. Watch next month’s newsletter for quotes from our youth and chaperones. I’m convinced that FUMC Youth are really special – you should have seen the tender way they interacted with the residents at the Lakeside, OH retirement home; or heard how beautifully they sang at the Plymouth Congregational Church in Fort Wayne; or heard them screaming their heads off on the roller coasters at Cedar Point; or leading worship – twice! – at Aldersgate UMC in Fort Wayne; or sharing their own insights in what it means to be “shaped to serve.” Thank you for your prayers, your financial support, and the snacks.
The A/V Ministry Team is working on editing a DVD of our experience. Give us a little time – it will be available for check-out from the church library. And, the Youth will be sharing their music in worship throughout the summer. So, if you didn’t hear them at our Homecoming concert, you’ll be able to hear them in worship.
P.S. Here’s an example of how great our youth are: Shirley Cheeseman of Cheeseman Coaches (our charter bus) wrote this note…Paul asked me to write and thank you. Your group was very nice, he told how polite (the youth were) and how clean the bus was. Shirley included a $150 refund check to start the fund for the next trip! Wow! Does that speak highly of our youth or what?! (by Janna Peterson)
