First Time Visit Youth Preschool

Youth

A Place for the Texting Generation

About Our Program

The mission of the youth program at Santa Margarita United Methodist Church is to build life-long disciples of Jesus Christ while creating a loving and safe environment where kids can be themselves.

The youth group is an active group of youth in grades 6 through 12. We are involved in volunteering with VBS and assisting in nursery and Sunday School, yearly mission trips, junior high and senior high camps, summer fun gatherings, youth worship, fundraising, as well as the regular weekly worship gatherings and youth activities.

 

 

 

Leadership

Richard Annett is our Youth Ministry Coordinator. He is currently going to Fuller Seminary where he is in the process of earning his Master of Divinity. For the past two summers, he has attended Lazy W Ranch as a Senior High camp leader. His greatest experience with youth is the moment they realize that Jesus is here among us, watching over us, protecting us, and guiding us in our lives. Richard prays that the Youth Group at Santa Margarita will continue to be a place where students can come and experience the love of God.

Sunday Evening Youth Group runs from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We begin with dinner then move into some games, followed by a time of biblical-based teaching and finally, small group discussions. We have a 4-person volunteer staff who helps out each Sunday night.

Youth Sunday School meets every week, during the 9:30 a.m. worship hour. Youth at 11 a.m. are invited to remain in worship.

This Week at SMUMC

This Wednesday we will have an Ash Wednesday service at 7 pm. Ashes are a sign of repentance and mourning. The Ashes traditionally are from Palm Sunday the year before and serve as a reminder that the joy of Palm Sunday can quickly turn to the betrayal and grief of the cross. The Ashes also remind us of the brevity of life. Let us begin the season of Lent with a clear focus on the gift of life and the correct use of that gift.
