United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) United Methodist Youth Fellowship takes place each Sunday in "The Lodge" youth space (room 30) at Asbury United Methodist Church! Every Sunday night from 5-6:30pm we gather for fellowship. In this time together, we have programs that relate to youth. We meet to play, pray, discuss and learn from each other! UMYF is a casual time to just be yourself---a weekly time to be here and near each other and draw closer to Christ. Meet Your Interns Asbury is fortunate to have two interns from Centenary this year, Jessica Pfanner & Michael Jarboe. Here is a little about the two:
Mission and Service The Youth Department is committed to reaching out in service to others. We have a year round mission program within our youth program. Our Youth Council Leadership Team sponsors mission events from raising $ for St. Jude's Children's Hospital to serving meals at Providence House. We also participate in local mission events and service projects. In the summer, we have a Sr. High service team named "P.I.G.S." (Participating In God's Service) that volunteer with children in local hospitals. We have a Sr. High Navajo Mission/Adventure Trip to Arizona (click photo to left) in June. Jr. & Sr. Highs can be a part of "Weekend of The Cross" each July. W.O.C. is a 4-day mission experience right here in Shreveport-Bossier.
click to submit a prayer request Youth Prayer Ministry Every Wednesday evening during“The Word” Youth Bible Study, our youth collect and distribute prayer cards within the group. Each prayer card has a name of a church family member printed on it. Each youth goes around the group circle, reads aloud the name of the person they are praying for that week and the group then closes with a group prayer for all of those names that will be prayed over until the youth meet again. The prayer cards are then mailed to that person. This ministry has been in place since 2005 and plans are to continue for many years as a prayer outreach from our youth. |
