Posted by pastor on 21 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: All
The Christian Education Committee and Church Board have recommended that we send our Millburn Church youth to the UCC’s National Youth Event (NYE), July 24-28, 2008. This gathering of UCC youth from around the country takes place every four years on the campus of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. NYE emphasizes worship, community building and spiritual formation. Youth who will be age 13-18 by July 2008 are invited, along with their parents, to an informational gathering on Sunday afternoon, December 2, at 1:00. Rev. Kris Hewitt, pastor of Ivanhoe Congregational UCC, Mundelein, who has attended NYE both as a youth pastor and a youth, will offer a presentation and answer questions. We’ll meet in Lauren Hall. If interested, please inform either Margo Paramski or Pastor Jed.
