Register for the High School Mystery Trip 2013

Are you ready for the Tarrytown UMC High School Mystery Trip?!?!

Our Mystery Trips are designed to mirror our own spiritual journeys. God doesn’t give us a map or itinerary for our lives. When it comes to God, we never know where we are going or what we’ll be doing when we get there. This can be a very frustrating experience for some–on the other hand, with God’s help, it can be incredibly freeing! How exciting is it to realize that God’s the one in the driver’s seat?!

This year’s trip is from March 8th to March 13, 2013, and is for youth who are in grades 9-12 for the 2012 – 2013 school year. Total cost of the trip will be $750. Pumpkin Patch credits are applicable, and scholarships are available; email us for more information.

Click Here to Register!!

A deposit of $250 is due with the registration form and will reserve your spot on the trip. You can turn in your payment into the church office or pay online. We also need adults who can participate in the trip as sponsors for the youth. The registration and payment process is the same; please email David if you are interested in being an Adult sponsor or if you would like more information on this opportunity. To be a high school participant on this trip youth must be in regular attendance of a TUMC youth small group (Midweek, Sunday School, etc.) The trip will more than likely fill up fast so please turn your form and payments in ASAP to ensure you get a spot on the trip!

Youth Led Worship is February 10

Now that everyone’s returned from their winter break, it’s time to start talking about our Spring Calendar. And guess what our first big event of the year is–Youth Led Worship!

Youth Led Worship is our chance to design, implement, and lead a worship service however we want to! Youth help design the service, write the sermons, read the text, play the instruments, light the candles–we do everything!

This year Youth Led Worship will be February 10. Our first rehearsal will be Sunday, Feb 3 after church, and our second rehearsal will be Saturday, Feb 9 from 11:00 – 1:00.

We need your help with the service! Are you interested in helping? We are in need of:

-Dancers
-Readers
-Writers
-Artists
-Musicians
-and more!

We need classical musicians to show off their skills by playing during the service. We need singers and rock musicians to play with the band. We need dancers who want to worship through movement. We need YOU!

Have any ideas or suggestions? Email us!
