BIPOC Youth Dinner at First UMC
For all ethnic and racial minority youth, there will be a meal together at First UMC, Rocky Mount, on Saturday from 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm. Please come and enjoy a meal sponsored by Race Equity and Justice Ministries.
Relational Discipleship Kickstart Cohort moved to January
We are inviting adult youth leaders and volunteers to consider signing up for a cohort to work through a new resource called “The Relational Discipleship Kickstart,” which is being developed through our partner organization TENx10. This resource is a ten-step process that will help orient youth leaders around relational discipleship radically focused on Jesus, and it is focused more on the purpose and people than programs.
Note: this is the same cohort that was originally considered for starting in November.
National Association for Mental Illness Conversation
A church member from White Plains UMC, who is a mental health professional, is going to speak to the Raleigh Area Youth Workers (YoWo) group at 11:30 am on November 16 at Millbrook UMC, specifically about a National Association for Mental Illness (NAMI) group soft launching at WPUMC this winter. It is in preparation to be fully running at the start of next school year, and the conversation will pay attention to what it looks like to start those groups in local churches. If you’re interested in attending, contact Jackie Lytton at jackie@millbrookumc.org.
