United Methodist Youth Group

2025-2026 YEAR IN REVIEW
Not only do the youth eat a delicious meal and learn about the teachings of Jesus, but they are a group who are of service to others.
During the fall the kids served a spaghetti meal to the congregation to raise funds for our church's mission shares. One evening they helped clean up the church's flower/pumpkin planters. They helped pack the 75 Thanks-giving Boxes that were delivered to the community.
During the winter season they helped set up tables and sorted items for the Gifts of the Heart, which is our fundraiser for the Ministerial Association. Christmas caroling was a highlight as they traveled the streets on a hay wagon singing to all who could hear them.
As spring arrived, the youth helped with Listening Encounters Bingo joining in the evening of companionship. A very rewarding service project ended the year by serving a meal to the patrons of the Homeless Shelter in North Platte. The group received many compliments from the Shelter about how kind and accepting they were when they were sharing the meal.
