Worship was enhanced by the leadership of our Youth. Lucas, Zach, Will, Katie and Ashley formed a praise team which led the music. Jared, Jennifer and Colby led the call to worship and read scripture. Other Youth in attendance led congregational singing from the choir loft. Thank you all for your commitment and leadership.

Following worship the Covered Dish Luncheon was wonderful. Thanks to all the cooks and a special thanks to the lean up crew.

The Senior High Camp was the largest ever for our area with 225 youth and 30 adults. The Williams Memorial UMC Youth Praise Team led our worship with great music. The youth selected options each day which included opportunities for in depth Bible Study, Mission & Service work, swimming, boating, crafts, praise band fundamentals, media ministry, liturgical dance and more. We made many new friends and renewed old friendships. Enjoy the photos and video.

Lakeview Cafeteria Wet Willie Water Slide New games and new friends. New games and new friends. Sable and Chad were counselors. Craft Time Russell Martin and the Youth of Williams Praise Team Mission & Service - painting one of the older cabins.

 

Ashley, Katie, Savannah and Taylor participated in the liturgical dance.

“Let your reach be wide….Cast your net on the other side.” Those song lyrics set the stage for Bishop Janice Riggle Huie’s Episcopal Address. “The entire United Methodist Church is fishing in a sea of change,” Huie said. “In a sea of change, what is the risen Christ asking us to do?”

Truly change is needed in a denomination that has been declining in membership since the 1960s. Nearly all the measures of fruitfulness – membership, worship attendance, and professions of faith – are down (with the exception of hands-on mission and ministry). Apportionments have taken the biggest hit, with only an 84% payout in 2010. That is the lowest in TAC history.

“We may not have as many resources as we like, but what we have is sufficient,” she said. “God is not finished with us yet!…We’re facing a turbulent sea, I believe God has already prepared the leaders we need. You, my friends, are those leaders.
