Parents Invited to Youth(2008-04-28)

An unprecedented move is being made by the leaders of Orange Youth. Parents are actually being invited to attend our youth meeting on Sunday, May 4. For the first hour of our Sunday night gathering, youth and parents alike will eat together. Likewise, everyone will be invited to participate in signing the Freedom Wall (this is part of our Mission of the Month, which is all about raising awareness of slavery in the world today). The second hour,the youth will have normal programs while the parents will have the pleasure of spending time with Graham! I know the parents are excited. 

 

Return from Cumberland Caverns(2008-04-21)

On April 19 we took a group of 31 youth and adults to Cumberland Caverns in Tennessee. We arrived Saturday night and were then taken on two great tours. On the first, called the Wild Tour, we got on our hands and knees and crawled through tiny crevaces on the spelunking route. We then took the commercial tour which included the larger parts of the cave and a Christian based light show. We had a blast! On Sunday morning we had our own church service that was exactly as it would have been if we had been at Orange (maybe not exactly). We were taught a great song by our wonderful music leader. Thanks to everyone who went on this trip, you guys were awesome! See the pictures here!

 

 

Congratulations Confirmands!(2008-04-01)

Congratulations to our three new members of Orange UMC! They completed the Confirmation class with Pastor Max and were recognized on Sunday, March 30. We are very proud of all three!

 

Return From SLR at Camp Glission(2008-03-16)

 We had such an amazing weekend.  We were able to take 24 people! The song you are listening to sums up the theme for the weekend. We learned about Legacy:  Living a Part of God’s Greater Story. We discovered that we should not seek our own legacy, but rather become a part of God's legacy.

Our youth were amazing! We had several complements on how well our youth behaved and how they stood out among the crowd. We also had some of our youth step up and ask the blessing for 3 out of the 4 meals for the whole group. Moreover, we had an Orange representative (Brandon Sosebee) to win the Guitar Hero competition. The youth decided it would be good for me (Graham) to try to imitate the Kool Aid Man in front of everyone, and of course I complied with their wishes. Oh Yeah!

Mens Night(2008-03-07)

We cannot let the girls think they are better than us by having all their girly nights.  To combat all the pink fluffy lacy stuff we are going to have a man night.  At this man night we plan on doing such manly things as play sports and cook over a camp fire.  If you are a man or OUMC youth otherwise and want to particpate in this men only shindig please let Jon or Graham know so they can have enought manly food to go around.
