Well, I think everyone had fun at our Back to School Bash. ALL ages all liked the cotton candy and popcorn, and the youth liked the pizza, too. Thanks for those who came and made it fun for all. Diane and I want to thank Laurie Gunter, Barbara Waits and Jacob Williams for all the work they did to make this event possible. A big thanks also to Sam Carter, William Rainey and Matthew Lewis for helping with the cotton candy and popcorn with the little ones. (The youth seemed to enjoy making the cotton candy almost as much as eating it!)

I hope everyone had a great first day back at school.

See you Sunday,

YOUTH MUSIC MINISTRIES '19-'20 SCHOOL YEARThere are terrific opportunities for our 7th-12th graders to get involved in developmental Worship Ensembles this school year, taught by Director of Worship Arts Tim Peck.

Youth Choir: learn to sing with a group in whatever voice you have! No prior singing/choral experience or music-reading required, but certainly encouraged. Willingness to try and participate is most important! Our goal is to participate once per semester at Sunday 11am Traditional Worship. Rehearses twice monthly, Sundays @ 4pm in the Choir Room.Upcoming Sunday Rehearsals: Aug. 18, Sept. 8, Sept. 15

Youth Band: learn to utilize instruments and vocal styles of Contemporary Worship. Prior instrumental or vocal experience not required — this is a skill-building group that will lead Youth and Planet 56 in Worship on the 3rd Sundays of the month. Typical instruments include drums, bass, keys, and guitars. Rehearses weekly, Wednesdays @ 4pm in the YAC Theater.Upcoming Wednesday rehearsals: Aug. 21, Aug. 28, Sept. 4

Email Tim Peck (tpeck@tfumc.com) with any questions you might have — he can’t wait to work on Worship with our Youth!
