Center Grove UMC

This past Sunday I went to church at the site I volunteer, Center Grove UMC. The members of the church discussed the food drive they are holding this month to raise enough food to supply a few families during Thanksgiving.

On Sunday Evening I attended Center Grove UMC and we did something a little different when we gathered together. We all met to discuss the Mass session that the youth are going to lead on the 18th of this month, and we talked about the important things that the youth wanted to report to the congregation of what the youth group has to offer.

Then we discussed what we were going to do that night, and we talked about the night being a "mentor" sunday. What this means is that on one Sunday out of the month the youth go to someone's house to learn something different. This time we went out to a farm and we helped one of the youth's dad change a tire after he showed us how it was done, and he then showed us how to check the oil in a car. The point of doing this was to supply information to the youth just in case they ever get in trouble with their cars. It was interesting and we all had a good time trying to figure out what we needed to do in order to get the tire on right. After the tire was on we then gathered for prayer, and we offered up things we were concerned about, and we then prayed for one another. Then we had dessert and went back to the church to reflect upon our experience that night.
