April- Cookout at Rocky Bottom with the Bowers

UMYF is every Sunday at 6PM unless otherwise announced. We enjoy playing games, singing, guitar playing, devotions, planning service projects, tons of food, and just being together.
Many thanks to all who made UMYF special in 2009. Keep the ideas and offers coming!!
For our Fall Kick off, we went bowling followed by tons of PIZZA. We had a cookout and sang at McKinney Chapel, and went skating followed by tons of PIZZA. The airport tour was great as well as good food. We visited Gleaning house and packed about 2 tons of potatoes into family size boxes, but having NO food or drink made us remember to be thankful that we had food in our homes. We helped raise money for the Bazaar with the Pastor's birthday gram and moved tons of chairs! We rode in Santa's Sleigh in the Pickens Christmas Parade and collected and delivered toys to Pickens' own Country Santa. We love Uncle Ray's devotions and hanging out together. We want all youth to join us in 2010!
. If you'd like to do that or have the youth to your home for something special, please call Jane Dillard at 908-8181 or email her at pastorjimmy77@bellsouth.net.
