FUMC Youth Keep Irving Beautiful
Our Youth Landscape and Replant the Barren Land Plot Near
The Entrance to REFUGE
As we celebrated our Centennial, one of the feature events
was the United Methodist Youth Fellowship REUNION comin up on
September 6. As a welcome home gesture, the youth of the
First United Methodist Church took up the project of
beautifying the front entrance of REFUGE by landscaping and
planting new greenery. REFUGE is where the Youth of FUMC meet in
the Family Life Center. Inside the Youth Area it has been
painted to look like a mountain top and a REFUGE where they or
anyone that comes can renew their spirit - hence the name (as
well as key scripture verses). The land in the area was fairly
barren and not exactly pleasing to the eye.
At Refuge Worship, we strive to build an environment where
man and God can connect. In Psalm 46:1, the psalmist writes,
"God is our refuge...". We too seek him in our time
together. Our focus is praise and prayer. We want to love God
with all our hearts! We want to seek him and praise him and
glorify him. We want to pray and communicate with the Father's
heart. We are learning how to pray more effectively. Are you
looking for a safe place, a place where you can be yourself and
learn about Jesus Christ, God’s only Son? Do you long for a time
when you can stop and listen to that still small voice of God?
Give Refuge Worship a try. We can't wait to meet you! Youth
Refuge Worship is on Wednesdays @ 7:07 PM every week.
The Youth of First United Methodist Church put in money along
with their parents and anyone else that wanted to help with the
cause to get the materials. They spent Labor Day Weekend on
Saturday morning, Sunday evening and Monday morning to make this
REFUGE spot a place that ill carry a message for generations to
come.
