First Youth meets every Sunday morning for Sunday School at 9:35 a.m. in the LOFT (3rd floor of First United Methodist Church Garland). Sunday School is the time we devote to studying how scripture speaks to us in our modern era. We explore our faith together through open discussion, video series, book series and scripture. Sunday School starts at 9:35 a.m. so come early to visit and greet one another before we begin our time together. We will dismiss by 10:30 a.m. in order to give those who are in PureJoy! time to go to choir.
We meet at 12 p.m. in Schreiber Hall for lunch as a group. Lunch is provided for all First Youth members. (If you are planning on bringing a guest please let the Youth Director know ahead of time so that we can guarantee enough food for everyone.) We have a rotating lunch menu that includes the following menu items: spaghetti, taco bar, pizza, mac & cheese, chili, soups, salads, pulled pork sandwich, sandwich bar, chicken Parmesan sandwich, lasagna, grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, nachos, chicken strips, and BBQ.
We meet for MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) each Sunday following lunch at 12:45 p.m. in the LOFT. This is a time for fellowship, fun and games, as well as time devoted to discussing our faith journey together. Our list of games and activities grows based on requests from our members and what they like. Let us know your favorites!
While Wednesday Windows is in session, we meet on Wednesdays for "Wednesday Wakeup" with First Youth. This is an opportunity to check in during the week and re-center ourselves. Whether you just need a pick me up, or maybe you need to share about a concern, this is a safe place for you to share.
